About Elaine
Elaine Antin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying different ways to respond. Elaine emphasizes learning or relearning concrete coping skills that fit everyday life.
Elaine has worked in public and private hospitals and smaller agencies. She has experience with people carrying diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and with older adults and people with physical disabilities. She does not reduce people to labels and centers the person rather than a diagnosis.
Her practice blends techniques from several therapies, including elements of Jungian ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy where helpful. She describes her style as open and nonjudgmental and aims to keep sessions practical rather than overly heavy. Humor is used appropriately in sessions when it fits.
Elaine asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she accepts international clients. Confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Elaine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or depression, then tests small changes to see what helps. Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on the person's concerns and preferences, with the therapist listening and reflecting rather than directing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements can teach specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Elaine will discuss options with each person and try approaches that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods based on how someone responds so work stays practical and focused on change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with Elaine about timing and session length to find arrangements that match work, caregiving, or other commitments.
