About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship troubles, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and questions about self-esteem and life changes. Claudia lists life purpose among her focuses and helps people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next after major changes.
She views symptoms as signals rather than flaws. Claudia talks with clients about how past experiences shape current coping habits, and how those habits may no longer serve them. Sessions emphasize learning new, more adaptive ways of managing strong feelings and urges while recognizing the role of both body and mind.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Claudia uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas when those fit the person’s concerns.
Claudia describes her work as trauma-informed and collaborative. She listens for what people need, offers validation, and practices interventions that aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She pays attention to boundaries, coping skills, and patterns that recur in relationships and personal life.
People who have tried therapy before and felt discouraged may find her approach familiar and respectful. To begin, she asks people to identify concrete goals and then uses short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, practical steps that matter to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That evaluation can change as progress is made and different tools are tried.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that skills training, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning adapt well to virtual sessions, while assessment of interpersonal patterns and trauma processing can be integrated over multiple meetings. Ask about the available session formats when you book so you can pick the arrangement that fits your routine.
