About Anne
Anne (Annie) Harton Kassell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with nine years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and family problems. She also lists codependency, attachment issues, abandonment, and related areas among her focuses.
Annie trusts that each person knows their own story. She treats people as experts in their lives while offering guidance and structure. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people name what is causing strain and try practical steps to change patterns.
Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape present reactions. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding.
With relationship and family concerns she brings in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method. That means paying attention to emotional patterns and communication habits, then practicing new interaction skills. Conversations may include role practice and gentle feedback to build different habits.
Annie aims to make sessions useful from the first visit. She helps people set small, achievable goals like clearer boundaries, steadier mood, or improved communication. Practical homework and short experiments between sessions are common parts of the work.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use that approach to map relationship patterns and practice new responses during conversations. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and experience, letting the therapist follow the client’s priorities while offering reflections and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses brief, practical tools to notice thoughts and try alternative behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then decide together which methods to prioritize. That collaborative process helps match methods to your situation rather than assuming one fixed path.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make scheduling easier and fit into busy routines. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and let people keep therapy alongside work or family responsibilities. Talk with the therapist when you set up the first appointment to confirm what session formats are offered and what will best fit your day-to-day life.
