AnneMarie Winic is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of professional experience in California. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, parenting strains, and depression. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs.
AnneMarie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then works with clients to set goals that matter to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on jargon. She emphasizes building confidence and motivation one step at a time.
Her work often draws on attachment ideas to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses skills-based methods to manage intense emotions and change unhelpful habits. These tools can help with communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Clients who are hearing impaired can be supported in sessions, and services are offered in English and American Sign Language. She makes room to talk about life purpose, emptiness, and the common difficulties of midlife and young adulthood.
AnneMarie describes the first step as a conversation where people decide what feels most useful. That might include short-term goals like reducing anxiety attacks, or longer work on self-love and boundary setting. She aims to empower people to make choices that fit their daily lives.
How these approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows each person's lead and helps them name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That conversation guides whether to emphasize attachment exploration, skills training from CBT, or a client-centered pace that feels more comfortable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches in virtual sessions, helping clients build self-esteem, manage anxiety, and improve relationships while working around everyday commitments.
