About Elaine

Elaine Antin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of counseling experience in Wisconsin. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep trouble, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, trauma and LGBT concerns. Elaine meets people where they are and uses straightforward, practical support to help them manage day-to-day challenges.

Her style is calm and nonjudgmental. She values a warm therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect.

Background and approach

Sessions can include clear coping skills, problem-solving, and chances to reflect on life patterns. She aims to reduce overwhelm and help people regain a sense of control. Elaine draws on several approaches to shape her work.

She uses elements of client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also brings Jungian ideas about meaning and life patterns into conversation when useful.

Her background includes work in public and personal hospitals and smaller community agencies. Over the years she has supported people with a range of diagnoses and life circumstances, including aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness, dissociation, and first responder issues. That variety informs a practical, flexible way of working.

Sessions focus on real-life change. Elaine helps people learn new coping skills, repair communication problems, and make clearer decisions. She keeps therapy human and sometimes light, believing progress often happens in small, steady steps.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Elaine blends several approaches to meet everyday problems and deeper questions. Jungian therapy looks at personal themes and symbols to find meaning and patterns in life and can help when people feel stuck or aim to understand long-standing inner conflicts.

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist following your pace and concerns. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, steady support, and a space to be heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills training.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps match methods to your situation rather than forcing a single style.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
