About Alex
Alex Claussen is an Ohio licensed professional counselor clinical (LPCC) with six years of experience. He focuses on practical support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and problems with self-esteem. He meets people where they are and helps them take manageable steps forward.
He starts from a client-centered stance, treating each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions emphasize listening, clear goals, and building on existing strengths. When helpful, he draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding.
People come to him for a range of concerns beyond mood and worry, including communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and men’s issues. He also works with money and financial issues as part of broader stress or relationship concerns.
In-session work tends to be direct and practical. He supports clients in breaking problems into smaller steps, trying new behaviors between sessions, and tracking what helps. Progress is reviewed regularly so the plan can change as needed.
Alex aims to create a supportive space where people can rebuild confidence and regain control over daily life. He encourages straightforward conversation about goals and offers tools people can use outside of therapy to move toward a more satisfying routine.
How Alex Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you name goals that matter to you. This approach is useful when people need a steady, nonjudgmental place to sort through big emotions and life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward tools to test beliefs, try new behaviors, and measure small changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, addictive patterns, and stress related to money concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alex will collaborate with you to decide whether a client-centered stance, CBT techniques, or a mix best fits your needs and goals. He reviews progress and adjusts methods based on what helps you most.
