Why does my car not move when it's cold until it revs to about 2,000 RPM?

I have a 2002 Chrysler Sebring. It is a 4 cylinder with an automatic transmission. Here recently, if it is cold out (under 40-45 degrees), when I first start it and try to drive either forward or backwards, it will not move until the engine has revved to about 2,000 RPM. Once the car has warmed up (typically after a short 10 minute drive) and on warmer days, it will not have this issue. If it sits on a cold day for around 3-4+ hours after being driven, the issue will return. If I put the car into Low instead of Drive, it doesn't seem like this is an issue anymore. I say it doesn't seem that way because I have only done this a couple of times.

In doing some searching online, I haven't really been able to find someone with the exact same problem that I am having (it could be poor search terms when I was looking), so I decided to go ahead and post my own question, hoping that I can get this figured out

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks!
