About Ann

Ann Newman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, codependency, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Ann also helps with addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, career strain, and parenting challenges.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions look at what is happening now and what patterns repeat over time. She uses practical tools to manage difficult feelings and to try new ways of relating without overwhelming homework or jargon.

Ann draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She often pulls exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment strategies add skills for emotion regulation and values-based action.

People who work with her typically practice small changes between sessions. Conversations can include role-play around setting boundaries, step-by-step plans for coping with crises, or short behavioral experiments to test a different response. The focus stays practical and incremental rather than theoretical.

Her practice is meant for adults who keep putting others first, feel stuck in repeating patterns, or want clearer limits in relationships. Ann asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Ann commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with short practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and helps people try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can shift as progress is made or new challenges arise.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Therapists can use brief skills coaching, role-play, and worksheets adapted for remote sessions to keep therapy focused and practical.
