Roxanna Winkes-Anthony , MD, LCSW-C

Roxanna Winkes-Anthony brings four decades of experience to her psychotherapy practice, combining a medical background (MD) with a clinical social work license (LCSW-C, a licensed clinical social worker credential). She has spent her career working across settings and age groups, developing particular depth in addictions services and in supporting people through trauma and life transitions.

Clients have sought her help for PTSD, anxiety, depression, adjustment to mental and physical illness, and challenges around self-acceptance. She also works with individuals facing separation and divorce, returning military personnel, and those navigating grief and caregiving concerns. Early in her career she conducted school outreach and provided residential treatment for adolescent males, and she continues to value working with a range of ages and life stages.

Roxanna practices with respect for each person’s needs and circumstances, drawing from an array of therapeutic approaches to match interventions to the situation at hand. Her long experience in addictions treatment, combined with training in trauma-informed care and relational work, informs a practical, compassionate style that aims to help clients build coping skills, restore relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for meaningful change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward a more meaningful life, even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it emphasizes action aligned with what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies. It is often effective for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping with mood challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience guides the work. This approach supports self-acceptance, grief processing, and growth during major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roxanna Winkes-Anthony works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access therapists from different locations. These options can improve consistency of care and support engagement during times of transition or when in-person visits are difficult.
