About Anne
Anne (Annie) Harton Kassell is an LMFT licensed in Indiana with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and family concerns. Her work includes issues like attachment, communication problems, and challenges tied to divorce or family of origin.
She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions aim to identify what is working and what gets in the way. She treats each person as the expert on their life and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Anne combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or conflict. She also draws on emotionally-focused and narrative approaches to make sense of painful interactions and old stories that affect current relationships.
In sessions she will help you name what matters, practice new ways of communicating, and try small behavior changes between meetings. Work can include addressing abandonment worries, codependency, body image concerns, and money-related stress as they come up in relationships and family life.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She aims to help people build more reliable emotional responses and clearer communication. If you want to start, confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with people now.
How sessions work
How attachment and CBT ideas guide online sessions
Anne integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people understand patterns in their relationships and reduce anxiety. Attachment-based work looks at how past connection experiences shape reactions in close relationships. It helps when trust, closeness, or fear of abandonment come up. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying upsetting thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve interactions.She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. Figuring out which mix of approaches fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping check-ins brief when needed. Online work can make it easier to have a shorter meeting during a break or avoid travel on busy days. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with people now and can pick times that fit your routine.
