About Aleksandr Raynov

Aleksandr Raynov has worked in the field of mental health since 2005 and brings a blend of clinical training and varied professional experience to his practice. He holds an MSW - a Master of Social Work - from Adelphi University School of Social Work and is an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He also earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering earlier in his career, and that technical and practical background has informed his perspective on clients' challenges and goals.

Aleksandr has practiced in a range of settings, including inpatient hospital units, an outpatient clinic, private practice, and through in-home visits in the community. Before entering mental health, he worked in several different trades and roles - mechanical engineer, CNC operator, first responder in New York, and IT consultant for a multinational company - experience that contributes to his grounded, solution-oriented approach.

In sessions he emphasizes a strengths-based model, helping people identify and mobilize their own resources to address stress, anxiety, grief and loss, family and relationship concerns, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, anger and confidence issues, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related challenges, and coping with life changes. Aleksandr integrates practical strategies and reflective exploration to support clients in moving toward the outcomes they value.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Aleksandr draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - and Existential Therapy as primary approaches in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping. Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and personal responsibility, helping people face life transitions, grief, and questions about purpose in a way that supports greater self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Aleksandr works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines structured techniques with reflective conversation to help clients move forward in ways that feel authentic to them.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access support from licensed professionals without requiring travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives while maintaining a consistent therapeutic process.
