Claudia Asztalos

Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and related concerns. She often supports clients dealing with trauma, relationship strain, addictive behaviors, self-esteem struggles, sleep and eating issues, and life transitions. Her tone in sessions is warm and straightforward. Claudia treats symptoms as signals rather than failures. She believes difficult reactions developed to protect a person and that new coping skills can be learned. In conversation she offers validation, practical tools, and encouragement so people can build healthier responses to stress and pain. Her counseling style is approachable and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative - Claudia listens, asks clear questions, and works with each person to set realistic goals. She emphasizes strengths and resilience while helping clients try small, manageable steps toward change. Claudia draws on several evidence-informed methods to shape her work. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and dialectical behavior tools for emotional regulation. Attachment-informed perspectives guide how she looks at patterns formed in relationships. She brings six years of clinical experience in Wisconsin and holds the LPC credential. Claudia describes herself as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and practical. To begin, people follow the site’s matching process and schedule a session based on the listed steps.

How Claudia uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them. It supports action aligned with values even when emotions are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Claudia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She will try strategies, check how they feel in daily life, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from their usual surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, review between-session practice, and track changes over time, helping therapy fit into everyday life without expecting a single fixed method.
