About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth "Beth" Warnes is a Wisconsin psychologist with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting concerns, and depression. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce or separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
Beth focuses on helping people reconnect with others and improve how they relate. She talks through practical communication skills and how patterns of thinking and behavior get in the way of relationship repair. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what is getting in the way of better day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that foreground the person's perspective and emotionally-focused ideas that look at core feelings in relationships. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set manageable steps and trauma-focused tools when past events affect current life.
In sessions she often helps people name painful feelings like guilt and shame, and then look at how those feelings shape choices and interactions. She pays attention to loneliness and the small habits that keep people isolated, and she works on clear, usable communication skills for families and partners.
Beth practices in Wisconsin as WI Psychologist 2829-57. Her work aims to be direct and human. If someone wants to start, they fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might fit into daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and perspective. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist listens for what matters most to the client and responds to those concerns directly. This can help with day-to-day stress, mood concerns, and relationship communication.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the key feelings behind relationship patterns. In remote sessions this often means tracking emotional responses during conversations and practicing new ways of expressing needs. EFT can be useful for repairing connection and addressing shame that shows up around close relationships.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and set small, doable goals. Over video or phone, this can look like short check-ins, clarifying one or two next steps, and reviewing progress between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, current difficulties, and what feels most helpful. That decision can change over time as needs shift.
Session-format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so work or caregiving responsibilities are easier to manage.
