AnneMarie Winic

AnneMarie Winic is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with life purpose questions and midlife transitions. AnneMarie communicates in English and American Sign Language.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around what each individual brings to the room. She uses techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing to address patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.

AnneMarie pays attention to family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and codependency where these relate to current problems. She also supports people coping with workplace difficulties, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. Hearing-impaired clients can work with her using American Sign Language.

In conversation she aims for clear, concrete steps rather than abstract advice. That may include revising unhelpful thought patterns, practicing communication skills, or building short-term coping tools. The plan evolves from session to session based on what helps most.

People who are uncertain about next steps or who want to explore life purpose and self-love often find this practical style useful. She is located in California and holds the credential LCSW.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to look at recurring relationship responses and practice new ways of relating in real time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and goals, offering listening and reflection so clients can find their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. That means trying techniques, checking results, and shifting focus as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people to keep therapy consistent while they test what works for them.
