About Aleksandr
Aleksandr Raynov is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 19 years of experience in mental health. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, anger, and relationship or family difficulties. He also addresses intimacy-related issues and life changes that affect daily functioning.
Raynov earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University School of Social Work. Before entering mental health he held several other careers, including mechanical engineering and roles as a first responder and IT consultant. That range of work informs how he thinks about practical problems and daily pressures.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. He also uses Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, responsibility, and choices when facing difficult situations. His stated orientation is strengths-based, focusing on the client’s existing resources and capacities.
Sessions center on clear goals and concrete steps. He helps people identify patterns that keep problems cycling and then practices alternative responses. He also supports grieving processes and the practical strains that come with major life changes.
Raynov has worked in inpatient hospital units, outpatient clinics, private practice, and in clients’ homes. He speaks English, Spanish, and Russian, and provides weekday clinical work from New York.

BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative responses with small behavioral experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and how people make choices under difficult circumstances. That approach helps when someone is facing grief, major life transitions, or questions about purpose and identity.
Finding the right approach is part of early sessions. Aleksandr will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. He typically helps set clear objectives, then adjusts techniques based on what proves most effective for the person.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule short check-ins during the day or longer sessions around work and family obligations. The biography does not list which remote formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. The aim is to make regular sessions manageable while focusing on concrete tools and decisions that carry over into daily life.
