About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Malchow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Elizabeth aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can begin to make practical changes.
Her work blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas help people understand patterns in close relationships and how earlier bonds shape current feelings. Elizabeth also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions guided by the client's priorities. She often brings mindfulness exercises and creative activities into sessions to increase self-awareness and coping skills.
These activities can be simple art tasks, breathing practices, or short reflection exercises that build emotional skills over time. She helps people dealing with parenting stress, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, chronic illness, caregiver burden, body image concerns, and identity issues like abandonment or dependent personality patterns.
Elizabeth also supports people navigating divorce or separation and those managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and pace. She focuses on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If someone is ready to start a new chapter, Elizabeth will work with them to build clearer goals and realistic next steps.

Online support
Online approaches that fit your life
Elizabeth blends Gottman Method ideas, attachment-based work, and client-centered care into online sessions. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict through practical exercises and structured conversation, which can be helpful for relationship concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions, helping people spot patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's goals, letting the therapist follow the client's lead and tailor each session to what matters most.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and preferences, and together they will pick techniques that match those needs. Plans can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let pairs and individuals use visual cues for communication work and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or wants not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skills practice, or quick emotional support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats until the right match is found.
