About Claudia
Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and addictive patterns. She works with concerns like low self-esteem, grief, sleep and eating problems, anger, ADHD, and identity issues connected to LGBT concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She aims to give validation and practical tools so people feel safer and more capable in daily life. Claudia believes symptoms are messages from the mind and body about what happened to a person.
Background and approach
She sees coping habits as once-useful strategies that may now cause harm. Sessions focus on understanding those patterns, tracking how the body and mind respond, and learning new ways to cope that fit daily life. Her counseling stance is calm and nonjudgmental.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method, tailoring work to each person’s needs and goals. Clients can expect clear, compassionate feedback and a focus on skills they can try between sessions. With six years of clinical experience, Claudia draws on varied methods including somatic-informed work, acceptance-based strategies, attachment perspectives, client-centered care, and cognitive-behavioral techniques.
She describes herself as approachable, authentic, and practical in sessions. Claudia works with adults in Wisconsin and runs sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She encourages people who have tried therapy before and felt frustrated to try again, and she aims to help clients take manageable steps toward feeling better.
Therapeutic approaches for body and mind online
Somatic-informed work focuses on how the body holds stress and memory. It uses breath, movement, and attention to notice physical responses and help people feel more grounded and present; this can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action and practical steps to live a meaningful life even with difficult feelings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and coping. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and let people practice new skills in their everyday environment. Many clients find that having several ways to connect makes it easier to stay consistent with care and maintain momentum between sessions.
