    About AnneMarie

    AnneMarie Winic is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience in California. She helps people who are feeling stuck by listening closely and tailoring conversations to each person. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.

    She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Relationship strains, parenting concerns, and workplace pressures are also areas she addresses. AnneMarie pays attention to how past family experiences and attachment patterns affect present relationships.

    Her work draws on several well-known approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In practice she uses those methods to help clients identify small, achievable changes and to build more helpful habits over time.

    AnneMarie also brings skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when those fit a client’s needs. She adapts the pace and focus to each person, emphasizing collaboration and clear goals. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language for people who are hearing impaired.

    She describes therapy as a partnership that asks for courage and curiosity. Prospective clients begin by sharing what matters most to them, and then she helps map out steps toward more satisfying relationships, better mood, and clearer purpose.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online care

    AnneMarie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build motivation one step at a time. This approach is useful when someone feels ambivalent about change or needs help setting clear, manageable goals.

    She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current connections and emotional patterns. That work often helps people understand recurring relationship struggles and respond in new ways. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions by prioritizing the client's perspective and pacing the work around what feels doable.

    Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as the work unfolds. Decisions about focus and tools are collaborative rather than fixed at the start.

    Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from their local area while keeping appointments consistent with work, school, or caregiving schedules.
