01About Alex
Alex Claussen is a licensed counselor in Ohio who brings six years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and self-esteem. Alex emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach that centers the client's perspective from the start.
He believes people know their own story and already carry strengths that help them change. In sessions he listens first, then offers concrete ideas that match each person's goals.
Background and approach
That might mean practicing new ways of thinking, testing small behavior changes, or focusing on accepting difficult feelings. Alex uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where a person can talk things through and feel heard. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when people want practical tools for anxiety, negative thinking, or habits tied to addiction and mood.
He pays attention to relationship and life-role problems such as communication struggles, separation and divorce, and issues tied to money or work. Alex also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Sessions are delivered in ways that fit a client’s routine, with options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Alex helps people set small, realistic steps so progress feels manageable. If someone is ready to begin, he guides them through matching and scheduling so they can start working toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and responding to what each person brings. The therapist mirrors concerns, validates feelings, and helps people clarify what matters most. This approach supports folks struggling with grief, low self-worth, and loneliness by creating a steady space to talk and reflect.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, social phobia, and habits related to addiction.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try a method, and adjust if something isn't working. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions match their needs and preferences.
Online therapy provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or when shorter exchanges fit a day. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to use tools like thought records or behavior plans in real time.
