About Ann

Ann Newman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and related life changes. She also supports concerns such as addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

Ann uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address strong emotions and recurring patterns. In sessions she listens for the situations that trigger frustration or resentment and works with clients to build clearer responses. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts, and on acceptance and commitment ideas to identify personal values that guide change.

Attachment-based work and client-centered practice shape how she approaches relationships and self-worth. This means attention to how past bonds influence current reactions, and a focus on the client's perspective in session. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when people need concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Clients learn short exercises to use between sessions, and practice ways to shift heated moments into calmer interactions. She can help people develop routines that improve sleep, reduce impulsive responses, and support steady progress over time.

To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Ann commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change thought patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT often involves practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and reacting. She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values even when emotions are strong.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on the client's goals, daily demands, and what feels most useful in practice. The aim is to match skills and strategies to the problem at hand rather than applying a single method.

The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let therapists teach and coach skills that you can try between sessions, such as breathing exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication rehearsals that help reduce reactivity at home and work.
