Yelena Drozdov-Clawson , LPC

Yelena Drozdov-Clawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who helps people handle major life transitions and emotional strain. She focuses on practical ways to build resilience, manage anxiety and depression, and recover a stronger sense of self during career shifts or personal changes.

Her work often centers on women's issues and multicultural concerns, and she also supports people coping with caregiver stress, immigration challenges, and aging-related difficulties. She uses a calm, thoughtful style aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood.

Yelena draws on both in-person and online experience to offer flexible session formats. She helps clients develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and plan steps toward goals. Sessions emphasize clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theories.

She aims to create individualized plans that reflect each person's story and values. That includes building self-love, addressing eating and food-related worries, and reducing panic or intense worry when it arises.

With ten years of clinical work, Yelena combines practical tools with steady support. Her approach is conservative and patient, suited to people who want thoughtful guidance as they make changes and regain balance.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support

Yelena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and steady progress. One common approach she relies on teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and panic - people learn breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure strategies to reduce sudden overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes and routine-building to address low mood and eating concerns - this helps clients add small, manageable habits that improve mood and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what helps, adjust strategies, and track progress so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility and ways to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen tools for worksheets. Phone sessions or brief live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a lunch break. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and can help people maintain momentum on skill practice.
