About (Angie)
(Angie) Anjanette Winkler is a licensed professional counselor with more than 21 years of experience. She trained as a counselor to help people recover from trauma and find steady footing during hard times. She practices from Missouri and works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and other life stresses.
Anjanette treats trauma as something that shapes how people cope and relate. She draws on many approaches to help people understand patterns that started in childhood and to build new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions move at the client’s pace while still encouraging forward steps toward change. She brings deep experience with adoption and foster care matters and with attachment-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, anger, parenting stress, and mood challenges including bipolar and panic symptoms.
Her work includes attention to first responder stress and compassion fatigue. Her style is collaborative and direct. She sees therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life and the therapist offers tools and perspective.
Anjanette aims to create a space of acceptance and respect while offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and relationships. Sessions may include skill work, mindfulness practices, and attention to how early experiences affect current behavior. She helps people break unhelpful patterns, improve communication, and develop coping plans for everyday challenges.
Her goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and behavior in close relationships. It helps people understand attachment patterns and build safer, more trusting connections in adult life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, history, and preferences. That may mean combining attachment work with CBT skills or adding mindfulness practices to manage intense emotions.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to process between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
