About Anne

Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience based in Colorado. She lists grief, loss and life transitions among the concerns she works with and often focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and caregiving challenges.

She has worked in acute hospital settings and in palliative and hospice care organizations. That background means she has spent time helping people and families during big, sudden changes and when difficult decisions are needed. Anne often supports people facing loss of independence, downsizing, illness, or the shock of a traumatic event.

Anne begins by listening to each person's story at their own pace. Conversations are guided by curiosity and by practical questions that help people feel understood. She helps people notice what motivates them and where small shifts might open up more interest or meaning in day-to-day life.

Her practice draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based approaches when emotions are the main focus. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people who want to make specific changes.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about current problems and practical next steps. Anne is licensed in Colorado and New Mexico as a social worker and works in English.

How her approaches translate to online care

Anne integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that are easy to use in conversations online. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and asking questions that help someone tell their story, which can be done over a video or phone meeting. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when strong feelings are central, and uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and anxiety. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods feel most useful. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or goals shift.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into work and family routines, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or make it easier to avoid travel. Online work also lets a therapist guide practical exercises, breathing practice, and thought records in real time to support coping with grief, anxiety, and life changes.
