About Anne

Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience who helps people facing grief, life changes, and the stress that comes with caregiving and aging. She listens closely and lets clients tell their story at their own pace. Her focus includes parenting concerns, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and managing caregiving demands.

Anne draws on practical, person-focused methods to help people find clearer thinking and small steps forward.

Background and approach

She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that reduce stress and improve mood. Her background includes work in acute care hospitals and in palliative and hospice settings.

That experience shaped her approach to sudden loss, medical crises, and hard decisions about care and planning. She has supported people through downsizing, changes in independence, and the emotional toll of chronic illness. Sessions tend to be calm and straightforward.

Anne asks questions that clarify what a client wants and helps set achievable goals. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused work are used when it helps people connect with feelings and rebuild a sense of meaning. Anne practices in Colorado and offers a tone of steady support for people navigating big transitions.

She aims to help clients feel heard, make deliberate choices, and regain interest in daily life.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

This therapist uses client-centered work to build understanding and trust. That means sessions begin with open listening so goals and values are clear. It helps when someone needs support after loss, during caregiving, or through life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping. Emotionally-focused techniques help people name and respond to difficult feelings, which is often helpful during grief or relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods to match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to try strategies and give feedback so work can be changed as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain momentum.
