About Elizabeth

Dr. Elizabeth "Beth" Warnes helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, parenting strain, and depression. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings tied to midlife crisis and life purpose. Beth is a Wisconsin psychologist with two decades of experience and a straightforward, compassionate manner.

Her sessions focus first on listening and understanding each person's situation. She values human connection and clear communication. Beth offers practical guidance and helps people practice new ways of relating to others and to themselves.

In therapy she draws on client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the client’s experience. Emotionally focused ideas help when relationships or attachment patterns are central to the problem. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used to set achievable goals and build momentum.

She also brings trauma-informed care to work with adjustment after difficult events, including postpartum and other trauma-related concerns. Beth tends to keep interventions simple and usable so clients can try them between sessions and notice real changes.

People who come to Beth often want clearer communication, less isolation, and more purpose in midlife or during major life transitions. She helps people identify small steps they can take toward feeling more connected and more in control of their day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's lead. In practice that means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on building a trusting, collaborative conversation to work through midlife changes, grief, or relationship concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps people notice and name core emotions and then practice new ways of responding to partners or family to reduce cycles of disconnection and blame.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to act. It can be useful for setting small goals around mood, parenting routines, or reducing isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed in a collaborative manner.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, have shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Some formats also let people choose audio-only when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Discussing these logistics ahead of time makes it easier to plan sessions that fit into everyday life.
