Roxanna Winkes-Anthony, MD, LCSW-C

Roxanna Winkes-Anthony helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and sleep problems. She also supports people facing career strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and the harder parts of life like caregiving stress and end-of-life decisions.

She brings 40 years of clinical experience to each conversation. Roxanna holds an MD and is an LCSW-C. She blends practical therapy methods with a calm, patient approach so people can talk through what matters most to them.

In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment strategies. She also draws on client-centered work, mindfulness, and narrative techniques to match each person’s needs. The work focuses on clear skills, real-life experiments, and noticing what gets in the way.

Roxanna has spent much of her career in addictions services and with people who have survived trauma, PTSD, and major life transitions. That background informs how she helps people set small goals, build routines, and cope with strong emotions.

She practices in Maryland and offers support in English. People who are juggling caregiving, chronic illness, military-related adjustment, or complicated grief often find her experience relevant. Roxanna aims to create a steady, practical space where people can make measurable changes over time.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Roxanna often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and for changing patterns that keep problems going.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters. Client-centered work is part of her style too, offering listening and reflection so each person feels heard and the pace fits them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roxanna will help figure out what methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real needs rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for her practice. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that is useful. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use short messages between sessions to track progress or get brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue momentum between appointments.
