About Claudia Asztalos
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She approaches assessment and treatment with the belief that struggles such as anxiety, depression, and difficult behaviors are often responses to life events rather than reflections of personal weakness. Symptoms are seen as signals from the mind and body that something needs attention, and Claudia helps people translate those signals into steps toward healing and growth.
Her work is grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centered stance that combines respect, empathy, and practical skill-building. Claudia recognizes that coping strategies that once helped may no longer serve a person well, so she focuses on helping clients develop new, healthier ways to manage stress and regulate emotion. She integrates mindfulness and body-aware perspectives to acknowledge how mental and physical experiences interact in recovery.
Claudia draws from an eclectic range of evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and somatic techniques. Her specialties include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD, along with focused work on attachment, codependency, body image, and family of origin issues.
She values collaboration and genuine connection, offering a warm, nonjudgmental style that aims to empower individuals to use their strengths and resilience in pursuit of meaningful change.

How Claudia's Therapeutic Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values while learning practical ways to respond to painful thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep a person stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships and emotional safety, which can be especially helpful for attachment issues, codependency, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering structured tools for problems like anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, combining elements from different models when appropriate so the plan feels tailored and practical. Decisions about technique and pacing are made together to support steady progress.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how and when support happens. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels with in-person work, and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options make it possible to access consistent care while using approaches that are effective in promoting coping, insight, and behavioral change.
