About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and ADHD. She works with issues around self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes, and LGBT-related stress. Claudia is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Wisconsin and offers therapy in English.
Claudia frames symptoms as meaningful signals rather than personal failure. She emphasizes practical skills to replace coping strategies that no longer help.
How Claudia works
Sessions are warm and straightforward, with validation and clear steps to build resilience. She aims to empower people to use their own strengths to manage hard moments. Her counseling style is approachable and direct.
Claudia draws on several methods including acceptance-focused work, attachment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive approaches, and dialectical skills. She tailors techniques to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Therapy often includes learning skills, practicing new responses, and talking through past events that still affect daily life.
Claudia has six years of experience as an LPC in Wisconsin. She describes herself as flexible and open to emerging approaches while remaining grounded in practical tools. She respects each person’s history and starts where they are comfortable.
People who feel stuck after earlier attempts at therapy may find her relatable. Claudia aims to be caring, respectful, and steady while helping clients take small, manageable steps toward change.

Online support options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that reflect personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps rebuild safer ways of relating to self and others, which can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying a skill-based strategy first, then adding attachment or acceptance work as needed, and adjustments are made together over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people practice skills and have interactive conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or help fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations while keeping sessions focused on meaningful change.
