About Elizabeth

Dr. Elizabeth "Beth" Warnes helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, parenting challenges, and depression. She is a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin and brings 20 years of practical experience to sessions.

Beth speaks plainly and focuses on rebuilding connection and communication for healthier relationships. Her approach centers on listening first. She uses evidence-informed methods to help people feel understood and to find small, doable changes.

Sessions typically include practical strategies, moments of reflection, and guided conversation about what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Beth pays attention to the impact of loneliness and isolation. She highlights the role of connection in easing anxiety and lifting mood. That focus often leads to working on communication skills and rebuilding ties with important people in a client’s life.

She also supports people coping with grief, caregiving stress, divorce, and trauma-related adjustments. Work in therapy can include looking at painful feelings, practicing new ways to talk with others, and setting realistic goals for daily life. Beth blends techniques from client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients find what fits their needs and move toward better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify their own goals and solutions; this approach supports people who need a safe space to sort through feelings and choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships. It focuses on emotions and attachment, which can be helpful for resolving conflicts and rebuilding connection after loss or separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beth will discuss different methods and collaborate with each client to choose what fits their needs and goals. That process includes checking in and adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer less formal contact or need short, flexible check-ins. These options support continuity of care and let people use the format that feels most workable for them.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
