About Anne
Anne (Annie) Harton Kassell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and family conflicts. Anne also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and isolation.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens for patterns in feelings and interactions and helps people name hard emotions. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what people want to change.
Anne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and the Gottman Method when these fit a person's goals. These tools are used to help people notice emotional patterns and try different ways of responding.
People can expect a therapist who pays attention to how emotions affect relationships and daily life. She helps people work through communication problems, family of origin issues, codependency, and divorce or separation concerns. Financial stress, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose are also part of her caseload.
Sessions are conducted in English and designed to focus on practical next steps as well as emotional understanding. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Anne suggests checking current session options before booking to confirm the best format for each person's needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Anne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and name core emotions that drive relationship patterns. EFT focuses on the emotional experiences under conflicts and helps people find new ways to connect with those feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to trace how early relationships shape current reactions and to practice more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's perspective at the center of sessions, encouraging honest reflection and active listening.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then together they decide which methods to try. That may mean combining elements from EFT, attachment work, and client-centered conversation depending on the person's needs.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and communication practices to work over the session format you select, with an emphasis on practical steps and emotional understanding.
