About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and trauma. She also supports those facing addictions, grief, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Claudia approaches concerns with kindness and respect, aiming to help clients build new coping skills that fit their lives.
Claudia believes symptoms are messages from the mind and body, not signs of weakness. She emphasizes understanding what happened to a person and how past coping strategies may no longer work. Her style is warm, direct, and practical. Sessions focus on validation, skill building, and helping people make steady, realistic changes.
With six years of experience, Claudia uses a mix of well-known clinical approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful patterns and from acceptance-based strategies to increase flexibility. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses.
Claudia describes her approach as trauma-informed and individualized. She aims to collaborate with clients, listening first and tailoring techniques afterward. Many sessions include learning new coping tools, practicing skills in session, and planning small steps to try between meetings.
People who have had mixed results in prior therapy are invited to try again with a practitioner who values empathy and realistic goals. Claudia frames change as gradual and honors the courage it takes to seek support.
How Claudia’s methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems by teaching flexible ways to respond to upsetting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is practical and often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and can help with trust, boundaries, and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Claudia will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. She checks in and adapts techniques if something is not helping, so therapy stays collaborative and focused on useful changes.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not specified in the biography. Online work can make attending sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice skills between meetings in your everyday setting. If you prefer a certain rhythm or structure, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.
