About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles in clear, practical ways. She also supports clients dealing with parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges.
Her approach is warm and respectful. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's situation. She aims to provide support that feels practical and doable rather than overwhelming jargon.
In sessions she listens for patterns that connect current struggles to earlier relationships and life events. She draws on attachment-focused work to look at how early bonds shape present behavior. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional coping skills.
She works with people facing caregiver stress, family of origin issues, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or guilt and shame. She is experienced with workplace stress, life-purpose questions, and the challenges young adults often face.
Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language. The therapist frames progress as small steps and focuses on practical tools you can use between meetings. To begin, follow the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why they may seek closeness, push others away, or feel stuck in repeating cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and practical problem solving.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. That process may mix ideas from attachment work and CBT or add coping skills from dialectical behavior therapy as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a work break or between appointments. It can also be helpful when ASL interpretation is needed, depending on the session setup. Ask about which formats are currently offered so you can choose what fits your routine.
