About Claudia

Claudia Asztalos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who frames symptoms like anxiety, depression, and addiction as meaningful responses to life events rather than personal failings.

Background and approach

She approaches care from a trauma-informed perspective, helping people understand how past wounds shape current coping patterns and collaborate on practical ways to develop healthier skills. Claudia highlights the unity of body and mind and values validation, understanding, and empowerment as central to moving toward healing.

Her style is warm, authentic, and nonjudgmental, blending evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with relational and existential approaches. With six years of clinical experience and a practice in Wisconsin, she offers flexible, client-centered care that adapts to each person’s strengths and goals.

Claudia welcomes clients who have tried therapy before and may feel frustrated, and she aims to create a respectful, skillful partnership that helps reduce fear of change and build sustainable resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and commit to meaningful actions while learning to accept difficult internal experiences, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills for issues like stress, mood concerns, and problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often helping people who struggle with intense emotions or unstable coping patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting methods over time to find what fits best for that person’s needs.

Online appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility from Wisconsin and beyond. These formats allow clients to receive consistent therapeutic support while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.
