About Anne
Anne Karsian, LCSW, CSW, helps people facing major life changes and intense emotions. She listens first, asking questions at a comfortable pace so people feel heard. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and help restore a sense of direction.
Anne has seven years of clinical experience and practices in Colorado. Her background includes work in hospitals, palliative care, and hospice settings where she supported people through grief, loss, and medical transitions.
Background and approach
That experience shaped how she approaches difficult decisions and sudden changes. In sessions she begins by inviting clients to tell their story in their own words. Anne uses curious, straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most to each person.
From there she helps identify small, manageable changes to reduce stress and rebuild daily routines. Anne combines gentle skill-building with emotional recognition. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Client-Centered Therapy to honor each person’s pace.
Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused ideas are used to calm intense feelings and improve relationships when appropriate. Clients commonly bring concerns like grief, depression, anxiety, parenting stress, anger, and caregiver fatigue. Anne also works with people facing chronic illness, cancer care decisions, downsizing, and aging-related issues.
Her aim is to make therapy useful and understandable, so people can move through hard moments and find more balance.

Approaches that guide online care
Anne uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead, focusing on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of grief, life changes, or emotional overwhelm.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit their needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
