In session he uses practical tools, skills, and education. He sets in-between-session goals and offers structured support so people can practice changes outside appointments. He also draws on approaches that are evidence based to address mood, trauma, and relationship patterns.
Guzzi trained at the University of South Florida and holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Social Work. He brings decades of clinical experience helping people respond differently to old family dynamics. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Many of his methods draw on well-studied therapeutic techniques that help with mood, trauma, and relationship patterns. Cognitive-style work focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that follow from those thoughts; it helps with anxiety, depression, and repetitive family-role behaviors.Skills-based and psychoeducational work teaches concrete tools for emotion regulation and communication. These strategies support people managing anger, grief, substance use issues, and mood swings by giving clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and new needs appear.
The profile describes online counseling but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.
