About Alex
Alex Claussen is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety. He focuses on practical steps that help clients manage worry, build confidence, and get unstuck. He approaches sessions with respect for each person's experience and strengths.
Clients meet a therapist who listens first and asks practical questions. Alex believes people are the experts on their own lives. He helps them spot patterns that keep problems going and then tries simple, testable changes.
Background and approach
His work often centers on managing anxiety, dealing with grief, and coping with addictive behaviors. He also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, and handling money or relationship stress. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented.
Alex uses Client-Centered methods to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that affect mood and behavior. Together these approaches aim to make everyday life feel more manageable.
People who connect with him usually want direct help with specific problems and practical tools to try between sessions. He frames the work as a collaboration, with clear steps and room to adjust as needs change.
How Alex Uses Talk Therapy Online
Alex blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgment and helps people feel heard and accepted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alex will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped in the past, and their preferences for how to work. Together they decide whether to focus more on listening and reflection or on specific CBT tools and homework assignments.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text work well for brief check-ins and on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
