About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, addictions, and challenges like low self-esteem and sleep problems. She also works with concerns such as relationship struggles, grief, eating issues, anger, and attention difficulties. Claudia writes plainly and listens with warmth so people feel understood from the start.
She sees symptoms as signals that something needs attention, not as personal failure. Claudia often helps clients replace old coping habits with healthier skills.
Background and approach
Sessions aim for practical changes and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her counseling style is warm, direct, and respectful. Claudia uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance work, dialectical skills, and attachment-focused thinking.
She adapts methods to each person instead of following a single plan. Claudia brings six years of clinical experience as an LPC in Wisconsin. That background includes work with trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and attachment concerns, among others.
She combines life experience with ongoing learning to stay current in her approach. In sessions Claudia focuses on collaboration. She listens, offers clear strategies, and teaches skills people can use between appointments.
The goal is to help clients feel more able to handle everyday stressors and longer-term changes. People who prefer straightforward guidance and practical tools often find her approach helpful. Claudia encourages steady steps forward and honors the courage it takes to seek help.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it often includes clear exercises to do between sessions and works well for anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current connections, which can help with relationship stress, abandonment fears, and attachment struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and simpler to join, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility so people can choose the format that best matches their schedule and comfort.
