About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, loss, and life transitions and helps people deal with intense change. Her work is grounded in straightforward conversation and practical supports people can use right away.
She has experience in acute care hospitals and in palliative and hospice settings. That background informs how she talks about difficult medical decisions, advanced care planning, and the emotional impact of illness. She often helps people facing isolation, loss of independence, or sudden change after a traumatic event.
Anne begins by listening to each person’s story at their own pace. She uses curiosity to guide sessions and makes space for the range of feelings that come with loss and change. The goal is clearer understanding of what motivates a person and what matters to them now.
Sessions may include practical problem solving, discussing options for care or living arrangements, and learning skills to manage stress and grief. She can also assist with communication problems, caregiver stress, and decisions around separation or major life shifts.
People who want direct, experience-based guidance about aging, serious illness, or bereavement will find her straightforward approach useful. Anne supports work on relationships, parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue while keeping conversations concrete and focused on next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions start with the client's story and move at a comfortable pace to identify immediate concerns and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and shift emotional patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and trying different ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to know whether a mindfulness skill, a CBT technique, or an emotionally focused conversation is most useful in a given session.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten follow-up check-ins, or avoid travel when managing medical appointments. It also allows focused conversations about advanced care planning, caregiver stress, grief, and life transitions without rearranging a full day.
