About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of practice in California. She focuses on easing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and American Sign Language and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs. She treats people with sensitivity and compassion and works to make each session feel practical and clear.
Background and approach
AnneMarie draws on several therapy methods to help people notice patterns, manage difficult feelings, and make small changes that matter. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
She puts emphasis on collaboration and pacing. Clients set goals and she helps break them into realistic steps. The focus is on building skills for everyday life and finding more confidence in relationships and parenting roles.
Sessions can include talking, problem-solving, and practicing new ways to respond. AnneMarie aims to support motivation and reduce shame when old habits feel stuck. She encourages people to take manageable steps toward clearer choices and a more satisfying routine.
Therapy approaches and online flexibility
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why certain relationships trigger strong emotions and supports building more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep momentum between busy days and to access help from home. The options allow for flexible scheduling and different ways to communicate as progress unfolds.
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.
