About (Angie)
(Angie) Anjanette Winkler is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She practices in Missouri and brings long experience across behavioral healthcare settings. Her work often focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Anjanette describes therapy as a collaborative process. She treats each person as the expert on their life while offering perspectives that can spark change. Sessions are paced to match each person’s comfort, with gentle encouragement to move forward rather than push too hard.
Background and approach
She has particular experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care and those dealing with attachment issues. Anjanette also works with people facing depression, substance use concerns, grief, caregiver stress, and problems with anger or self-esteem. Her background includes crisis intervention and stabilization across levels of care.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to build trust and understanding. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Psychodynamic concepts inform how early relationships and family of origin issues show up in current life.
Anjanette is affirming of all sexual and gender identities and welcomes conversations about LGBT concerns. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Therapy sessions can be scheduled in formats that include video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop from early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and reactions in relationships so they can try different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and choices; the therapist listens deeply, reflects, and follows the client’s pace to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are normal as work unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a more personal connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use brief, written check-ins when that format is easier. These options help fit therapy into varied schedules and life demands.
