About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language.
Her approach focuses on practical conversations and small, manageable changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing when they fit a person's goals.
In a typical session she talks through what is happening now and what feels most urgent. She helps people identify thought patterns that increase stress and practices alternative responses. Sessions include direct problem solving alongside deeper reflection about relationships and family of origin dynamics.
AnneMarie has worked with caregivers and people facing workplace pressure and life transitions. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose. She can support people who are hearing impaired and can communicate using American Sign Language.
Her style is straightforward and focused on concrete steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. People can expect clear conversation about goals, practical tools to try between sessions, and regular review of what is helping and what needs to change.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
AnneMarie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits; this approach breaks problems into small steps and practices concrete skills that can be reviewed between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication; it helps with trust, boundaries, and patterns in adult relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, giving room for someone to set the pace and topics.Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work together with each person to align goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in weekly sessions. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the context of daily life and then discuss how those attempts went in the next meeting.
