About Yelena
Yelena Drozdov-Clawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, eating and self-esteem concerns, and career challenges.

She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding. Sessions emphasize developing coping skills, improving self-care, and setting realistic goals for daily life.
Background and approach
Yelena aims to make changes feel doable rather than overwhelming. Her practice includes attention to women's issues, multicultural concerns, caregiver stress, family-related problems, and aging or immigration-related challenges. She tailors support to each person’s background and current needs.
That means conversations and strategies are adapted to what a client actually faces. Yelena offers both in-person and online options, and she includes phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging as part of her work. Her approach is collaborative; she works with clients to set goals and track progress.
Many clients focus on building self-love, managing mood symptoms, or sorting career decisions. Clients can expect a steady, thoughtful style rather than quick fixes. Yelena helps people map out concrete steps and practice new habits between sessions.
Her aim is to support sustainable change and more balanced daily functioning.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Yelena uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One approach she relies on helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety and panic attacks by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practicing new responses. Another approach emphasizes mood regulation and behavioral changes to address depression and low motivation through goal setting and activity planning.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, background, and daily life. Together they review what has helped before, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what works best.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
