About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. AnneMarie speaks English and American Sign Language and aims to treat every person with respect and compassion.
She shapes sessions around each person's needs instead of using one fixed plan. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then works with the client to set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
The approach is supportive and paced to fit what someone can handle right now. AnneMarie uses a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand. That can mean looking at attachment patterns, using client-centered talk to clarify values and goals, or applying cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thinking.
She also draws on skills from dialectical behavioral methods and motivational interviewing when they fit the problem. People often come for help with family-of-origin questions, caregiver stress, codependency, or communication problems. AnneMarie has experience supporting those who feel stuck by guilt, shame, or a sense of emptiness.
She also works with workplace stress and life transitions such as midlife reassessment and young adult issues. Sessions are meant to be a collaborative process. AnneMarie helps clients identify concrete steps and small changes they can try between meetings.
The focus is on realistic, steady progress toward clearer goals and a more manageable day-to-day life.

How these approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and try new ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities front and center and uses empathic listening to clarify values and goals. That approach works well in remote sessions where honest conversation and reflection are the focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, using concrete exercises and practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. AnneMarie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and what feels most useful. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, or when written reflection helps processing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats to see what supports steady progress.
