About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 24 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting questions, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She also notes a focus on life purpose and midlife transitions.
AnneMarie frames sessions around respectful, sensitive conversation. She uses client-centered methods and practical strategies to help people sort through what matters next. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps rather than abstract talk.
Her background includes experience with attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems. She also supports people managing guilt, shame, impulsivity, workplace stresses, and the challenges young adults face. She can communicate in English and American Sign Language for people who are hearing impaired.
In practice AnneMarie combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools and elements from dialectical behavior therapy. She draws on motivational interviewing techniques when people feel stuck or unsure about change. The result is a mix of listening, practical exercises, and action plans to test what works.
People who come for help with life purpose or midlife questions can expect a focus on values, clearer priorities, and stepwise options. Conversations often include concrete communication skills for relationships and parenting, and behavioral strategies to manage anxiety and mood. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
AnneMarie commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Attachment-based approaches focus on patterns in close relationships and how they shape feelings and reactions. This can help when relationship patterns or family of origin issues make decisions and connections harder. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try. Figuring out the best fit is presented as a collaborative process that can change over time based on progress and preferences.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins during stressful periods, or reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions without video when that helps someone focus or conserve bandwidth. Practical arrangements and the mix of therapy methods are reviewed in the first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.
