Therapist in Long Beach, California Annalise Wintz, Therapist

Annalise Wintz, LCSW, helps adults across California develop insight, emotional balance, and practical tools for managing complex mental health challenges. Practicing at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, offering a supportive space where growth feels possible even during difficult seasons. Her work with patients throughout California is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based mental health care.

Annalise has a strong clinical focus on trauma, gender identity–related concerns, and eating disorders. She works thoughtfully with adults who may be processing past trauma, questioning identity, or struggling with patterns around food, control, and self-worth. Her approach emphasizes safety, self-compassion, and gradual change, helping clients reduce distress while building healthier relationships with themselves and others. This work is especially meaningful to her, as it allows clients to reclaim agency and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

In addition to these core areas, Annalise treats anxiety and depression and supports adults through midlife transitions and other major life stressors. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients regulate emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and stay connected to personal values. Annalise has experience working with diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and military veterans, and she offers additional support for a broad range of mental health needs.

Outside of therapy, Annalise enjoys finding new places to eat, leaving Yelp reviews, and unwinding with mindless reality TV—small joys that help her recharge and stay present.
