Anne Karsian, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Colorado

About Anne

Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as grief and life transitions. She listens first and learns each person’s story in plain language and at their own pace. Anne aims to make people feel heard and seen without pressure or judgment.

Her style is calm and curious, with attention to what matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Anne brings seven years of clinical experience that includes work in acute care hospitals and palliative and hospice settings. That background means she is familiar with sudden changes, medical decision points, and the complicated emotions that can follow loss.

She has particular experience supporting older adults facing choices about advanced care planning and downsizing, and the family dynamics that often accompany those moments. In sessions she uses simple, evidence-informed methods. Conversations start with understanding where someone is now and what they want to change.

She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and she uses mindfulness skills to help people tolerate strong feelings in the moment. Anne also uses emotionally-focused work to improve how people connect and communicate when relationships are strained. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support to find a next step.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level. She practices in Colorado and offers sessions in English. Anne’s experience is grounded in real-world settings where practical decisions and emotions meet.

She aims to help people move through confusing or painful times toward clearer choices and renewed interest in life.

How Anne’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions give space for a person to tell their story in their own words while the therapist reflects and clarifies. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. In remote sessions CBT can include practical worksheets, short experiments to try between sessions, and step-by-step skill practice for stress, anxiety, or mood difficulties.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people improve how they express needs and connect with others. Even over video or phone, this work can shift interaction patterns and increase emotional safety in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. That plan can change as a person learns and grows during therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, medical appointments, work, or busy family schedules. The variety of options also lets clients use the communication style that feels most comfortable while still getting regular support from a licensed professional.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
