Alexei Kasanzew, LPC

Alexei Kasanzew is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with eight years of experience supporting adults and couples facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, minority-related concerns, life transitions, and stress. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is recognized as the expert on their own life, and he works to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for exploration and change.

Reaching out for help can feel both vulnerable and courageous, and Alexei centers empathy, authenticity, and respect in his work so clients can show up as they are rather than feeling they must have everything figured out. He uses an integrative, research-informed set of interventions - evidence-based techniques tailored to each person - to address emotional challenges, communication problems, and the practical effects of major life changes.

Alexei emphasizes practical support alongside deeper exploration, helping people develop coping strategies, clarify values and life purpose, and improve relationships and communication. He offers services in both English and Spanish and strives to meet clients where they are while collaborating on goals and next steps. He is committed to helping clients breathe, reflect, and move toward a more supportive relationship with themselves.

Integrative approaches and online care

Alexei works from a client-centered foundation, which emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person’s perspective. This approach focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and supports self-directed growth and clearer communication, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and life transitions.

He also uses integrative, evidence-based interventions - combining techniques supported by current research and tailoring them to the individual. This allows therapy to address symptoms of anxiety or depression while also building skills for coping with stress and change. Practical, skills-focused work helps people manage daily challenges and move toward their values and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Alexei collaborates with clients to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible options to connect with a licensed professional without rearranging life around appointments. These formats can make it easier to access consistent support, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and continue work between meetings.
