About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience based in Colorado. She works with people facing grief, loss, and major life transitions. She also helps with anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and career changes.
Anne has a background in hospital, palliative, and hospice settings. That work exposed her to sudden losses and longer declines, and to the practical and emotional choices that follow. She has particular experience supporting older adults through decisions about advanced care planning and downsizing, and with people who take on caregiving roles.
Her approach begins with listening. She asks about a person’s story and follows their pace. Conversations are guided by curiosity and aim to help people feel heard and understood rather than judged.
Anne draws on methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She focuses on helping people name what they feel, recognize patterns, and take manageable steps to shift how they respond to stressors.
People often come to her when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or numb after loss or big changes. She offers practical ways to cope with painful feelings, rebuild some daily pleasure, and sort through difficult decisions. To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In an online session this means starting with the story you want to tell, and shaping sessions around what feels most relevant to you. It helps with grief, life transitions, and decisions that feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes how emotions and patterns influence relationships and close connections; it can help people name emotions and shift how they respond in important interactions.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Practical benefits of doing sessions online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer conversations around other responsibilities.
