About Yelena
Yelena Drozdov-Clawson is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and self-esteem concerns, and career challenges. She offers support in English and Russian and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding. Sessions center on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and step-by-step plans that fit each person's life.
How Yelena works
The aim is steady change rather than quick fixes. Yelena pays attention to issues that often come with life transitions. She helps with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, immigration-related challenges, and multicultural issues.
She also supports people managing panic attacks and mood disorders. Her style is thoughtful and measured. She creates space for people to talk through emotions, try new strategies, and set realistic goals.
She emphasizes building self-love and stronger day-to-day habits that support emotional balance. Yelena offers sessions in several online formats as well as remote options that fit busy schedules. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling appointments that match therapist availability.
She works with each person to create a plan that meets their needs.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Yelena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use day to day. One common approach emphasizes building coping strategies for anxiety and panic - learning to recognize triggers, practice breathing and grounding skills, and test new responses in manageable steps. Another approach centers on mood and self-esteem work by identifying negative thinking patterns, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and replacing them with more balanced self-talk.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques over time to make sure the work feels useful and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people access consistent support around busy schedules and varied life situations.
