About (Angie)

(Angie) Anjanette Winkler is a licensed professional counselor with over 21 years of clinical experience, practicing in Missouri as an LPC and LCPC. She built her career across multiple levels of behavioral healthcare and has advanced training in how early trauma affects a child's development.

Background and approach

Her training and background inform a trauma-sensitive approach aimed at helping clients understand patterns, move toward healing, and develop practical coping strategies. Winkler frames therapy as a collaborative partnership where the client’s knowledge of their own life is central.

She combines evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-focused and client-centered methods to offer perspective, skills, and emotional support. Comfortable working at any therapeutic pace, she seeks to challenge clients gently to foster growth while maintaining acceptance and respect for their values and experiences.

Her practice includes work with adults, couples, families, and children, and she has particular experience with adoption and foster care dynamics. Winkler affirms diverse sexual and gender identities and draws on approaches including mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Approaches that inform online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for concerns like anxiety, depression, panic, and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, which can be helpful for family issues, attachment concerns, and relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of work.

Determining the best approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then combine techniques from these approaches to create a plan that fits the client rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit therapy into busy days, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
