About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience based in Colorado. She focuses on grief, loss, and life transitions, and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Her work also addresses parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem challenges.
She has practiced in acute care hospitals and in palliative and hospice organizations. That background means she often supports people facing sudden change, serious illness, or decisions about advanced care and downsizing. Anne is familiar with the emotional and practical strains that arise during those moments.
Anne begins by listening to each person’s story at their own pace. She uses curiosity to guide conversations so people feel understood as they are, not as they think others expect them to be. From that starting point she helps people make sense of feelings and motivations.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to clarify emotions, shift unhelpful thoughts, and try small changes that can ease daily life.
People working with Anne may address caregiving stress, chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, body image, or relationship communication problems. She also supports those coping with divorce, codependency, or feelings of emptiness. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer emotional understanding to move through difficult periods.
How Anne uses Emotionally-Focused and practical therapies online
Anne draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and day-to-day life. EFT focuses on noticing emotional patterns and creating clearer ways to express needs and responses. It can be useful when emotions feel confusing or when relationship patterns repeat.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person’s pace to build understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete changes in behavior or thinking. Those approaches suit issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and adjusting to life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands, or not being on camera when that helps someone participate more easily.
