About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience helping people through loss and major life changes. She focuses on listening first and learning each person's story at their own pace. Her approach is gentle and practical, aimed at helping people feel heard and regain interest in life.
She has spent years in acute hospital care and in palliative and hospice settings. That work gave her a lot of experience supporting people facing serious illness, caregiving stress, and choices about advanced care planning.
Background and approach
She also helps people who are dealing with isolation, loss of independence, or big household transitions like downsizing. In sessions she follows the client’s lead and uses curiosity to guide conversations. That usually means talking through feelings, naming what matters, and noticing what gets in the way of change.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping. Her interest in grief and life transitions comes from long-term work with older adults and with families during pivotal moments. She also supports concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career questions, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include chronic illness, cancer, body image, and caregiver burden. People who choose her often want a calm, steady listener who offers clear, down-to-earth tools. Anne works in Colorado and provides sessions in English.
She uses a collaborative style to help people move through difficult, sad, or confusing times.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Anne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions, rebuild connections to what matters, and shift patterns that keep them stuck. This approach can be useful for grief, relationship strain, and deep feelings that follow big life changes.She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the session on the person's experience and pace. That means the therapist listens actively, follows what you raise, and helps you make sense of your own story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments to change responses to stress and anxiety.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Anne will discuss options with each person, consider goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as sessions progress to find what fits best. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client choose steps together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls let you use body language and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit short updates, pacing between sessions, or people who prefer written reflection. These formats allow scheduling flexibility and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
