About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Malchow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She earned her Master of Social Work with an emphasis in mental health and has seven years of clinical experience. She presents a warm and reflective approach and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.
She uses practical, hands-on activities to build skills like mindfulness and self-awareness. These may include creative projects that prompt reflection and help people reconnect with who they are.
Background and approach

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing career changes, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.
Additional concerns she addresses include attachment issues, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, dissociation, and divorce or separation. Elizabeth incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that match client needs. She blends these approaches to help people notice patterns, learn coping strategies, and change unhelpful habits.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She works with each person to build a plan that fits their pace and priorities. People who want practical tools and thoughtful conversation may find her approach helpful.

Online support
How attachment work and skills training translate online
Elizabeth often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people notice connection styles and understand how they affect trust and closeness. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the best combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant to their needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when a shorter routine check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow frequent touchpoints and shorter, flexible interactions between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the same therapeutic approaches in use.
