(Angie) Anjanette Winkler

(Angie) Anjanette Winkler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Missouri with 21 years of experience. She became a counselor out of belief in people’s ability to recover and grow. She brings broad clinical experience across behavioral health and focuses on trauma’s impact on development.

Anjanette frames therapy as a collaborative process. She treats clients as experts on their own lives while offering perspectives and tools to foster change. She aims to create an atmosphere of acceptance and respect for each person’s values and pace.

She has deep experience supporting people connected to adoption and foster care. She affirms all sexual and gender identities and welcomes diverse faith backgrounds. Her work includes crisis intervention and stabilization when needed.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including anger, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, addictions, grief, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also helps with family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and disruptive mood symptoms.

Anjanette uses several therapeutic approaches when they fit the client’s needs. She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at early relationships, client-centered skills to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness or psychodynamic ideas where helpful. She works at a pace the client can handle and aims to push toward forward progress without overwhelming the person.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at early relationships and how they influence current connections. It can help people understand patterns that show up in anger and relationship stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build trust and hope. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a calm space to speak about difficult events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce angry reactions and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will partner with the client to decide which combination of methods fits best based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift as work progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work still lets the clinician teach CBT skills, use attachment-focused conversations, and guide mindfulness exercises in ways that fit day-to-day routines.
