About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship struggles, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, and life changes. Claudia aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and human.
Her sessions are warm and straightforward. She listens without judgment and offers clear, practical skills people can try between visits. Claudia emphasizes that symptoms are often responses to life events, not personal failure, and focuses on learning healthier ways to cope.
Background and approach
Claudia brings six years of counseling experience in Wisconsin. She draws on a mix of approaches and tailors the work to each person's needs. That means some people will do thought-focused work, while others practice emotion regulation or values-based steps.
She often uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior approaches to build coping skills. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and past hurts shape current reactions. Claudia combines these with a client-centered stance that centers the person’s values and choices.
The therapist aims to help people feel understood and able to act differently in stressful moments. She encourages small, doable changes and respects the pace each person needs. Claudia works with adults in English and offers online session formats for flexibility.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and trouble sticking with goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build safer ways of connecting and responding in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will explore a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a plan together. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches to match what works best for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practicing new skills between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options can make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
