About Anne
Anne Karsian offers a calm, steady presence for people facing loss, big life changes, and the stress that comes with them. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional practice. Parents and adults who feel overwhelmed or stuck often come for straightforward, respectful conversations about what matters most to them.
Anne spent years in hospital, palliative, and hospice settings. That work gave her day-to-day experience helping people make hard decisions and manage sudden changes.
Background and approach
She has particular experience supporting older adults through downsizing, advanced care planning, and the isolation that can follow declining independence. In sessions she begins by listening to a person’s story at their pace. Curiosity guides the conversation and helps people feel heard without pressure.
She uses practical strategies that match each person’s needs, and she explains options in clear, simple terms. People come for help with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, burnout, and caregiving stress. Anne also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, and life transitions like separation or retirement.
Her approach blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused methods, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Anne aims to help people notice what matters, shift unhelpful patterns, and make choices that fit their goals. She practices in Colorado and holds LCSW and CSW credentials.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s story and priorities. Online sessions let Anne listen closely and respond to what matters most, helping clients feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it translates well to video and phone sessions where homework and short skills practice can be assigned between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift emotional patterns in relationships and personal life, which can be explored through video work and guided reflection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts techniques as needs change. She treats the first sessions as a time to learn a client’s story and plan steps that feel doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging suits ongoing support or quick reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit care into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while using the approaches above to address grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and related concerns.
