(Angie) Anjanette Winkler , LPC, LCPC

She came to professional counseling motivated by a deep belief in the resilience of the human spirit, beginning a career in clinical work 20 years ago. Over that time she has worked across multiple levels of behavioral health care and pursued advanced training in how early trauma shapes a developing child’s brain, using that knowledge to guide trauma-sensitive interventions that support growth and healing.

Her therapeutic stance is collaborative - she views therapy as a partnership of experts in which the individual remains the authority on their own experience while she contributes clinical training and perspective to help deepen understanding and promote change. She is committed to offering unconditional acceptance and respect for each person’s values and thoughts, and she adjusts the pace of work to fit each client, encouraging movement forward without overwhelming the process.

She has extensive experience with families formed through adoption and foster care and is affirming of all sexual and gender identities as well as all faiths and religions. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She works with adults, couples, families, and children and has substantial training in crisis intervention and stabilization, supporting people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, career or employment stress, substance use, and stress management.

Her credentials include LPC and LCPC, which stand for Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She remains passionate about connecting with vulnerable members of the community to offer hope and to reduce the stigma often attached to mental illness and addiction.

Attachment-informed, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape emotional patterns and coping strategies. It helps people understand how connection and safety in relationships influence reactions to stress and supports work on bonding, trust, and caregiving dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist offers support and reflection while the client leads the pace and direction of the work. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and clearer personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers practical skills for changing reactions, improving mood, and developing healthier coping strategies.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor interventions that fit their situation, combining elements from different approaches when that best serves progress.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
