About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship strain, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD. She describes symptoms as signals that something needs attention rather than signs of weakness. Claudia aims to provide a respectful, caring space where people feel heard and understood.
Her style is warm, direct, and grounded in real life. She listens for what has happened to a person and how they cope now.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills alongside deeper reflection to reduce distress and build resilience. Claudia blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Existential Therapy to address meaning and purpose, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work with painful thoughts and values, and Attachment-Based ideas to examine how relationships shape current struggles.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and client-centered principles. With six years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin, she brings life experience and flexibility to therapy. Claudia says she treats people as individuals and adapts methods rather than applying one fixed model.
She emphasizes collaboration and helps clients practice new coping skills between sessions. People who have tried therapy before and felt frustrated are welcomed. Claudia values authenticity, empathy, and nonjudgment.
She encourages small steps toward change and supports clients as they try different ways to feel more steady and connected.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Claudia often uses Existential Therapy to help people face questions about meaning, purpose, and values when life feels empty or overwhelming. That work can help with grief, transitions, and feelings of emptiness by focusing on what matters most to the person. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches skills to notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and to act in line with chosen values. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current trust, intimacy, and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Claudia treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. The aim is to find practical ways forward together rather than insisting on a single method.
Online sessions give flexibility for different life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face work and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support regular connection and quick check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use approaches like ACT or attachment-focused work across everyday moments.
