About Alex
Alex Claussen is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Ohio with six years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on concerns such as communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, money issues, men’s issues, social anxiety, self-love, and life purpose.
Alex frames clients as the experts in their own stories. He listens for strengths and practical resources people already have. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational, with attention to what feels most helpful in day-to-day life. He encourages small, doable steps that connect to a person’s priorities.
In practice he uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means he pays attention to how people describe their experience and also looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He mixes listening with concrete strategies when they fit the situation.
People who feel stuck after a job change, breakup, or health shift may find his focus on life purpose relevant. He helps clarify what matters next without promising a specific outcome. Work in sessions can include talking through decisions, practicing new ways of responding, and building habits that support clearer direction.
Sessions are offered in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting through the site. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary with location.

This approach can help when someone needs a clearer sense of purpose after a change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and practice to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits related to addictions or avoidance.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions. That includes trying techniques, reviewing progress, and adjusting the plan as needed.
