About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience based in Colorado. She works with adults who are navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and related stressors such as anxiety, depression, and anger. Anne focuses on hearing each person’s story in plain language and at their own pace.
She draws on years in acute hospital settings and palliative and hospice work. That background means she is familiar with sudden change, medical decisions, and the practical and emotional impact of serious illness. Anne often supports people facing loss of independence, downsizing, or decisions about advanced care planning.
Sessions begin with listening and curiosity. Anne aims to help people feel understood and to clarify what matters to them. From there she uses practical methods to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping when needed.
Her approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to address relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and career or identity concerns tied to life change.
People who meet with Anne can expect straightforward conversation about current struggles and next steps. She encourages small, achievable changes and clearer communication as ways to reduce recurring anger or resentment. To start, she asks clients to share their story and priorities so she can help them move forward at a realistic pace.
How sessions work
How Anne uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarify their priorities so they can make realistic changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotion patterns in relationships and personal responses, which can ease repeated conflict and build clearer communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort. That shared decision-making helps shape practical steps and short-term goals that fit day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, like shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions without being on camera when people prefer a lower-bandwidth option. The emphasis is on making therapy fit daily life while using client-centered listening, CBT tools, and emotionally-focused strategies to address grief, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions.
