About Beth
Beth Wanke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting, family concerns, and self-esteem. She draws on seven years of direct mental health practice to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. Beth aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through immediate problems and figure out practical next steps.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people identify strengths and small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions often include skills for managing strong emotions, strategies to break unhelpful patterns, and straightforward planning for next steps.
Beth’s background includes work in outpatient mental health, substance use treatment, correctional settings, in-home therapy, and child welfare services. That variety gives her experience with parenting stress, family conflict, and the effects of trauma on behavior and relationships.
She uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide practical work in sessions. These methods are applied in ways that fit each person’s situation and goals.
Beth also brings experience related to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and co-morbidity concerns. Her aim is to help people reconnect with what matters to them and build manageable routines that support healing and growth.
How therapy approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and to name goals that feel important to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats may work better for quick skill practice or shorter updates, while others suit deeper weekly work. Licensed professionals can explain which options will best match your schedule and therapeutic needs.
