About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience based in Colorado. She focuses on grief, loss, life transitions, and related strains that show up at home. Her work often connects to family and parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, and depression.
She has worked in acute hospital settings and in palliative and hospice care. That background means she has spent time supporting people through sudden changes and serious medical situations. She also has experience helping older adults navigate advanced care planning and downsizing decisions.
In sessions she begins by hearing a person’s story in their own words and at their own pace. Conversation is guided by curiosity and aims to help someone feel seen without pressure to perform. The emphasis is on understanding what motivates choices and emotions so people can find renewed interest in daily life.
Anne uses straightforward approaches to address grief, caregiver stress, and family-related tensions. She helps people unpack overwhelming feelings, numbness, anger, or guilt that often come with loss or big changes. Practical skills and reflection are both part of her approach.
She also works with issues such as intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. People who are caring for others, facing serious illness, or managing major life transitions may find the practical focus helpful. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Anne draws on client-centered therapy to begin sessions by listening and following the person’s pace. This approach helps people tell their story and set goals in ways that feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on connecting emotions to patterns in relationships and personal responses, which can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and communication difficulties.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Anne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust as needed rather than committing to a single path up front.
