About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a California licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She communicates with respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals.
Over two decades in practice have shaped a practical approach to everyday struggles. She listens first, then works with clients to create a plan that fits their life. That can mean learning new ways to talk with important people, building confidence, or finding clearer priorities at work and home.
Her work addresses attachment issues and patterns from family of origin that can shape current relationships. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Therapeutic tools she uses include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills to manage intense feelings and impulsivity. Motivational interviewing helps with making changes that match each person’s values.
AnneMarie offers services in English and American Sign Language for people who are hearing impaired or prefer ASL. She encourages a collaborative pace so people feel empowered rather than pushed. If someone is ready to explore change, she helps them take the next steps.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In practice this means talking about patterns in close relationships and trying different ways to connect and respond. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions through skill learning and practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods together. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions match the real-life challenges the person brings.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people join from different locations within the same region, which can help maintain consistency while making therapy more practical for daily life.
