About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth "Beth" Warnes is a Wisconsin psychologist with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She also works with caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and trauma-related adjustment issues.
Warnes focuses on how loneliness and social isolation affect mood and behavior. She pays attention to communication patterns that make relationships feel stuck or painful. Sessions include clear, practical steps alongside listening and reflection.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotions and attachment patterns are central to the problem. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s concerns and goals. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to help people move toward small, achievable changes.
Her approach tackles feelings people name and the ones that are hard to put into words. She helps people notice how emotions show up in their interactions. Then she guides them toward different ways of responding to old patterns.
People coming for help can expect straightforward talk about what's getting in the way and steps they can try between sessions. Warnes aims to help clients rebuild connection and improve communication. Her background includes work with grief, trauma-related adjustment, and mood disorders in community settings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. In practice this means identifying strong feelings in relationships and working to change how people respond to them. It can help when repeated interaction patterns keep causing hurt or distance.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and goals. The therapist offers attentive listening and reflects what she hears so clients can understand their feelings more clearly. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and commit to small, practical changes that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review what feels most useful based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process means approaches can shift as problems change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose audio-only if looking for lower bandwidth or less emphasis on being on camera.
