About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Malchow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who began practicing after earning a Master of Social Work in 2018. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a calm, respectful manner to sessions. Her approach centers on listening first and then building practical steps forward with each person she meets.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns. She also helps people facing relationship strains, career stress, bipolar mood challenges, and big life transitions.
Background and approach
Elizabeth pays attention to attachment patterns and long-standing coping styles that shape how people relate to others. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused ideas to help people notice thoughts, name feelings, and try small behavior changes.
Mindfulness exercises and creative activities are used sometimes to build awareness and new skills. Elizabeth frames therapy as a space to practice different ways of responding to stress and relationships. She works to make goals concrete and achievable rather than abstract.
Over time clients often build clearer communication, steadier moods, and more confidence managing daily demands. Her practice style is warm, kind, and reflective. People who want a respectful, down-to-earth clinician who uses practical tools and gentle curiosity may find her approach a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how past hurts shape trust and closeness now, and it offers ways to try different, safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in relationships and helps people name emotions and respond differently to create stronger connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what is working. Clients help set priorities and decide which strategies to use together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or send a short update without scheduling a full call. These options help people use therapy in ways that fit their schedules and day-to-day routines.
