Claudia Asztalos, LPC

Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing trauma, addiction, body-image struggles, sleeping and eating issues, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues. Her style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. She focuses on practical skills and steady support so people can move forward.

Claudia believes symptoms are messages from the mind and body, not signs of weakness. She helps clients understand how past events shaped current habits. Together they identify coping strategies that used to help and replace them with healthier choices that fit today’s life.

Her counseling approach centers on listening with empathy and working collaboratively. She uses methods drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered therapy. These methods are mixed to fit each person’s needs rather than applied the same way for everyone.

Claudia has six years of professional experience and practices in Wisconsin. She treats each person as an individual with strengths and practical needs. Her sessions aim to build realistic skills for emotion regulation, communication, and daily coping.

People who have tried therapy before and felt discouraged may find her relatable and steady. She encourages small, manageable steps and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

Approaches used in online work and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Claudia works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will try techniques, check how they land, and adapt the plan as the work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counseling into busy days by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. They also make shorter check-ins possible when time is limited and allow options for less visual or lower-bandwidth communication when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice skills, monitor progress, and maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday responsibilities.
