About Alejandra

Alejandra Guzman-Valencia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, compassionate support. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to move at each person's pace.

Alejandra begins by building rapport in the first sessions so people can decide if the fit feels right. She validates where someone is while encouraging them to picture a clearer future.

How Alejandra works

Together she and the client set goals and choose steps that match the client's needs and readiness to change. Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, and outpatient health clinics. She has supported people facing chronic illness, end of life concerns, grief, and adjustment to big life changes.

That experience informs practical ways to cope with persistent pain, illness, and ongoing stressors. In sessions she focuses on useful skills and steady support. She addresses communication problems, caregiver stress, isolation, guilt, and building self-love.

The work emphasizes clear goals, steady pacing, and respect for each person's choices. Alejandra aims to be an encouraging partner through change. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make participation easier for different schedules and needs.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet.

Online support options

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Alejandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical coping skills. One common approach emphasizes building coping strategies and routines to manage anxiety and depression, helping people reduce overwhelm and regain daily structure. Another approach concentrates on improving communication skills and handling relationship stress by practicing concrete ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals, and adapt methods to match what you want to work on. This collaborative process helps identify techniques that feel useful and realistic for each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for more interactive work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, mood tracking, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
