Elaine has completely changed my view on the effectiveness of therapy. I avoided therapy for years after a bad experience but she has completely changed my life. She validated me in a way no one has been able to and she understands my mental health and gives tips and advice that help my life improve tremendously. If you struggle with anxiety and depression and OCD I highly recommend Elaine.

More about Elaine
- 25 years' experience

Hello, my name is Elaine and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin.
I have over 25 years of experience working as a counselor and practicing psychotherapy. I have worked in Public and private hospitals and small agencies.
My work has always focused on mental health. Clients' have carried diagnoses of depression/anxiety, as well as Bi-polar disorders and Schizophrenias. In addition I have counseled the elderly and physically disabled. But, I don't see people as labels. We all experience challenges in our life, and learning or re-learning new coping skills is what I like to do.
I would love to work with you, and watch you take back your life. I am an open and non-judgmental person. Clients' tell me I have a calming effect on them.
I have studied a variety of therapies including but not limited to; Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Humanistic, and Brief Family Therapy. I have incorporated this learning into my practice, which I call eclectic.
At its best, therapy has to do with the relationship between the therapist and the client. It is an evolving relationship that develops trust, compassion, empathy,
honesty and respect. This creates a safe place where positive changes can happen.
Therapy does not have to be heavy. Sometimes I laugh with my clients. I will however, never laugh at you, but I will always laugh with you.
I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Experience of listening and understanding what I am trying to express, while I am learning more about myself. Elaine has helped me become more self aware.
Great!
With just 3 sessions, Elaine has brought a new understanding to how I've been feeling which has been an eye opener for me. We're on the right track to discussing these issues and coming up with strategies to cope. It's a great start!
Excellent help and support
Elaine has been extremely helpful while grieving and rebuilding after ending a long term relationship. She is attentive, actively listens, and asks challenging questions. I feel like I’ve grown so much in the few months we’ve been working together.
I really appreciate Elaine's attention. I feel that she asks great questions and provides great advice. Every time I finish a session with Elaine I feel more empowered, less anxious, and more centered. The worksheets she assigns have been very helpful!
I’ve tried 3 different therapists within the last 4 years and never felt like I found the right person. Since I joined BetterHelp and started working with Elaine I feel like this is finally it.
