About Joseph

Joseph Guzzi is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 30 years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. He also focuses on dependency and substance or alcohol use concerns and related relationship and attachment struggles.

Joseph uses straightforward, practical sessions. He helps people talk through painful memories and dependency patterns. He offers tools, skills, and short between-session goals to keep progress steady. Sessions are described as dependable and consistent by his approach to care.

His background includes a Bachelor and Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida and decades of experience with mood disorders and grief work. He has worked with adults and teens in individual, couples, family, and group settings over his career. That experience informs how he structures sessions and plans recovery steps.

In practice he often addresses abandonment and attachment issues, communication and control problems, body image and codependency, and the effects of divorce or separation. He also supports people dealing with dissociation and disruptive mood patterns. Substance use and 12-step related recovery work are part of his focus.

People who choose him can expect clear teaching, practical communication, and a mix of therapeutic tools. He prioritizes measurable steps between sessions and uses conversation, skill-building, and education to help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Joseph emphasizes evidence-based techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and teaching practical skills. One common approach he uses is structured skill-building to manage mood and anxiety; this involves learning specific coping strategies and practicing them between sessions to see measurable change. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process painful experiences and reduce avoidance or dissociation through paced talking and grounding exercises.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He discusses a person’s history, current problems, and goals, then recommends strategies to test and adjust over time. People and therapist work together to decide which methods feel most useful and realistic for daily life.

The biography does not list the exact online formats offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use remote sessions to continue steady support while someone manages work, family, health, or travel commitments.
