About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Malchow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice in Wisconsin. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
Her style is warm and reflective. She listens closely and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions often include practical activities and mindfulness exercises to build coping skills and self-awareness.
Background and approach
Elizabeth blends several approaches to match a person’s goals. She uses cognitive strategies to address unhelpful thinking, attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns, and client-centered methods that keep the person’s experience central. She may also draw on emotion-focused techniques to help with intense feelings.
Many clients appreciate hands-on work in sessions, such as brief creative projects or structured skill practice. These methods are meant to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build skills they can use between sessions. She supports people through life transitions, relationship strain, career stress, and chronic health or caregiving burdens.
Elizabeth aims to help people find clearer thinking, steadier emotion management, and more confident choices in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that developed in important relationships. This approach helps people notice how past relationship experiences shape current reactions and offers ways to try different, healthier responses.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust the plan over time. Elizabeth tailors methods to each person rather than using a single fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, parenting, or health demands.
