About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and problems with sleep and eating. She approaches struggles like anxiety as signals that something needs attention, not as personal failings. Claudia aims to give steady support while helping people build new, healthier coping skills.
She keeps sessions warm and straightforward. Claudia listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
She emphasizes the connection between body and mind and uses that perspective when addressing symptoms like panic or chronic worry. Claudia brings six years of counseling experience in Wisconsin and works from a trauma-informed perspective. She draws on several approaches to meet a person where they are, combining tools that match specific goals and challenges.
This includes techniques for improving sleep, managing urges around eating or substances, and reducing overwhelming anxiety. Her style is collaborative. Claudia aims to help people notice what used to work and what no longer does, then try new strategies that feel doable.
She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, identity matters, and life transitions. People who have tried therapy before and felt frustrated may find her approach validating. She values practical change alongside understanding, and she partners with clients to set clear, manageable steps toward feeling better.
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control action. It focuses on values and small steps toward a life that matters, which can help with persistent anxiety and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns. It is often useful for worry, sleep trouble, and unhelpful routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what is working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and full conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels clearer. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel.
