About Roxanna

Roxanna Winkes-Anthony is a psychotherapist with four decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and grief. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy concerns, career strain, sleep problems, and challenges like compassion fatigue and bipolar mood shifts. Roxanna brings a calm, practical manner to sessions and focuses on what matters to each person.

She listens first, then helps people tell the story of what’s happening.

Background and approach

That storytelling can reveal patterns and choices that feel stuck. She draws on Narrative Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help people notice their values and take small, achievable steps. Her background includes long work in addiction services and support for people with PTSD, adjustment to illness, and life transitions like separation and divorce.

She has also worked with returning military and with hospice and end-of-life concerns. That varied experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach. Roxanna uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when those methods fit a person’s needs.

Sessions emphasize simple tools for coping, clearer communication, and building routines that help sleep and mood. She explains ideas in straightforward language and focuses on practical next steps. She practices in Maryland and meets people online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Roxanna accepts international clients and tailors her approach to each person's goals and life circumstances.

Narrative and Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Roxanna commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people name and retell the stories that shape their choices. This approach helps surface unhelpful patterns and creates space to try different ways of living. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roxanna will discuss these methods with each person and decide collaboratively which tools to try based on goals, strengths, and daily life. Sessions may blend narrative, ACT, client-centered listening, and brief cognitive-behavioral strategies over time to match changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping skills, or when fitting sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible with work, caregiving, or travel.
