(Angie) Anjanette Winkler, LCPC, LPC
About me
My belief in the resilience of the human spirit inspired me to become a professional counselor 20 years ago. I have clinical experience in every level of behavioral healthcare and I have advanced training and practice in understanding how the early experience of trauma impacts a developing child’s brain. I am motivated by the power of trauma sensitive treatment to assist my clients in growth and healing.
My general approach to therapy is one of a partnership of experts. No one has more expertise than you do on your own experience. I have training and expertise that I can offer to hopefully deepen your understanding, provide new perspectives, and facilitate change. Most importantly, it's my privilege and commitment to provide an environment of unconditional acceptance and respect for your thoughts and values. I am comfortable with any pace of therapy and I believe that I should be pushing you a little bit harder than you are pushing yourself—pushing you forward, never pushing you down.
I have extensive experience in working with families formed from adoption and foster care. I am affirming of all sexual and gender identities, all faiths and all religions. I utilize several clinical modalities including Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I enjoy counseling with adults, couples, families, and children. I have extensive experience in crisis intervention and crisis stabilization and am comfortable supporting individuals with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, difficulty in relationships, parenting, career/employment stress, substance use and stress management.
I am passionate about connecting with vulnerable individuals in our community to offer hope and eliminating the stigma of illness and addiction.

Ms Winkler listens to what I have to say, teaches me great coping skills, and within the few months of starting therapy I’ve seen much improvement already

Angie has been very helpful and provides a welcoming and safe space to talk. Her skills with identifying key points and follow up throughout my therapy journey has made me feel very seen and heard. She also creates a very accommodating and reliable schedule. Her expertise has helped facilitate important realizations and knowledge, highlighting crucial blind spots in my perspective while reassuring my validity regarding the challenging life experiences that brought me to the Betterhelp Platform. I am very thankful for her support and recommend her to others!

She is so sweet and funny. She gives you a space to talk about any range of topics from lighthearted to something more serious. Angie provides lots of resources and tips you can apply to lots of situations :)

Angie is the best therapist I’ve ever had and could ever imagine. I wish everyone could work with Angie, but I also don’t want to tell anyone about her so that I always get a session time. My life has improved so much in less than a year with her, compared to a year and a half with very little improvement with my last therapist. I’d rate her 1000/10.
