(Angie) Anjanette Winkler , LPC, LCPC

(Angie) Anjanette Winkler became a professional counselor 20 years ago, driven by a longstanding belief in the resilience of the human spirit. She brings clinical experience across every level of behavioral healthcare and has pursued advanced training in how early trauma shapes a child’s developing brain. That focus on trauma-informed care guides her work and motivates her commitment to supporting growth and healing.

She practices from a collaborative stance, viewing therapy as a partnership of experts in which the client is the authority on their lived experience while she contributes clinical knowledge and perspective. She aims to create an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance and respect for each person’s thoughts and values and adapts to whatever pace the client needs. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - which reflect her professional training and licensure.

Winkler has extensive experience with families formed through adoption and foster care and affirms all sexual and gender identities as well as all faiths and religions. Her work draws on several clinical modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She counsels adults, couples, families, and children, and has substantial background in crisis intervention and stabilization. She supports people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management difficulties, relationship challenges, parenting and career stress, substance use concerns, and general stress management. She is passionate about connecting with vulnerable members of the community to offer hope and reduce stigma around mental health and addiction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

(Angie) Anjanette Winkler draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach explores connection and trust in relationships and can be helpful for attachment issues, family dynamics, and healing after early losses or disruptions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspectives; in this approach the therapist offers empathy and support to foster self-understanding and personal growth, making it useful for concerns like self-esteem, life transitions, and relational stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method she employs, offering practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape treatment over time so it remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with her is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and integrate therapy into daily life with greater convenience.
