Alex Claussen

Alex Claussen is an Ohio LPCC with 6 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He describes his role as helping clients draw on their own strengths to face difficult situations and make changes. He views clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps forward.

In sessions he listens for what matters most and works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what can change now.

He also helps people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Men’s issues, money and financial stress, self-love, and social anxiety are other areas he addresses. The emphasis is on problem-solving and skill building rather than labels.

Clients can expect concrete tools to manage anxiety, routines to reduce stress, and steps for coping with loss or addictive behaviors. Sessions include talking through challenges, practicing new responses, and reviewing what worked between meetings. Progress is tracked through simple goals and repeated check-ins.

Alex asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client and reflecting what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on the client’s perspective, clarifying priorities and deciding which problems to address first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying thoughts and actions that keep problems going and practicing alternatives. In virtual sessions this looks like reviewing specific situations, testing new responses, and assigning brief exercises to try between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt techniques that best fit their needs. That may mean leaning more on reflective listening at first, then adding CBT techniques as skills develop.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to schedule around work. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-world settings and review how they went at the next appointment.
