About Roxanna

Roxanna Winkes-Anthony brings four decades of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related challenges, mood disorders including bipolar, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She also focuses on issues such as caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and control problems, and end-of-life concerns. Her background includes long-term involvement in addiction services and work with clients coping with PTSD, adjustment to medical conditions, and separation and divorce.

Her approach is flexible and client-centered, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, narrative techniques, and trauma-focused methods. Roxanna emphasizes respect for each person’s needs and tailors interventions to practical goals, combining evidence-informed strategies with attention to personal stories and values.

She holds MD and LCSW-C credentials and has practiced across settings from school outreach to residential treatment. Based in Maryland, she offers a welcoming, experienced presence for people navigating complex emotional, behavioral, and life-change challenges.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Roxanna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for worry, mood problems, and managing impulses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes values-based action and learning to relate differently to difficult emotions, useful for stress, chronic pain, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy is another part of her approach, providing empathetic, nonjudgmental support that helps people explore their own goals and discover internal resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roxanna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their situation, adjusting techniques over time as goals and needs become clearer. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and practical for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to engage from different locations. These formats support consistent access to a licensed professional while allowing a range of interaction styles, from real-time conversation to shorter messaging check-ins, depending on what the client finds most helpful.
