About (Angie)
(Angie) Anjanette Winkler is a licensed counselor with over 21 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Missouri. Her work focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges.
Parents and caregivers will find a steady, practical presence who values each person’s own expertise about their life. Anjanette describes therapy as a partnership. She listens first, then offers perspectives and skills that fit each family's needs.
Background and approach
She moves at a pace the client can manage and encourages gentle forward steps rather than forcing change. Her background includes experience across levels of behavioral healthcare and advanced training in how early trauma affects a child’s development and brain. That knowledge shapes how she supports attachment, adoption and foster care situations, and parenting struggles.
She also has worked with mood disorders, grief, addiction, and stress for caregivers and first responders. In sessions she draws from multiple approaches, including cognitive behavioral and attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, and psychodynamic concepts. These tools are used to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and address family of origin or blended family issues.
She is affirming of diverse sexual and gender identities. Anjanette offers phone, video, live chat, and messaging options. Getting started requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the family’s routine.
Therapeutic approaches for parenting and family work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps parents and caregivers understand connection and repair patterns so children and family members feel safer and more responsive to each other.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, panic, and managing strong emotions that affect family life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the family’s goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit. Sessions often blend methods to match what is most helpful for the specific situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when schedules permit, while phone, live chat, and text messaging support shorter check-ins, progress tracking, and follow-up between sessions. This mix of formats helps families maintain consistency and apply new skills in day-to-day life.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
