About Elaine
Elaine Antin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of counseling experience in Wisconsin. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, codependency, and other life changes. Elaine offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to help people regain control of their lives.
She has worked in public and private hospitals and smaller agencies. Over the years she has supported people who have had a range of diagnoses, and she has counseled older adults and people living with physical disability. Elaine does not reduce anyone to a label; she focuses on practical coping skills and ways to move forward.
Her approach blends several methods. Elaine uses client-centered ideas to create a respectful space, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and elements of mindfulness to ease stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and Jungian perspectives when they fit the person's needs.
Sessions are conversational and grounded. She pays attention to the relationship and builds trust through honesty, empathy, and respect. Elaine keeps therapy flexible and sometimes brings in humor to ease tension while still addressing serious concerns.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, empathetic relationship so people can talk through their concerns and find their own solutions. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship stress, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and codependency patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy and usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. Because the original biography does not list session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent check-ins, short focused skill practice, or deeper weekly work depending on what they need.
