About Alex
Alex Claussen is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of experience in mental health care. He focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction get in the way of daily life. He works in plain language and centers the person's own goals and strengths in each session.
Claussen emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions aim to build confidence, increase motivation, and reduce symptoms that feel overwhelming.
How Alex works
He helps people sort through grief, shame, and isolation while addressing self-esteem and social anxiety. In the therapy room he blends a client-centered attitude with cognitive behavioral tools. That means listening first, then offering straightforward strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
These methods are used to handle money stress, relationship communication problems, and the fallout of divorce or separation. He also focuses on men's issues, forgiveness work, and finding life purpose. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with small steps toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.
Clients can expect a supportive, down-to-earth approach that keeps their values in view. Claussen offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, people answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgment. It aims to build trust, clarify values, and help people find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem, grief, or life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist begins by hearing what matters most, then suggests methods that match goals and preferences. Together they adjust techniques as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant to daily life.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins or shorter support between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent even with work, caregiving, or travel demands.
