Anne Karsian

Anne Karsian, LCSW, CSW, offers a calm, attentive presence for people facing loss and big life changes. She listens first, asking about your story in your own words and at your own pace. That approach helps people feel seen and understood before any work begins.

She uses mindfulness, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people sort through grief, stress, and shifts in daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps and emotional processing, not on labels. Many people come for help with bereavement, changes at work, relationship strain, parenting stress, or feeling stuck and empty.

Anne has seven years of clinical experience and has spent much of her career in hospital, palliative, and hospice settings. That background gives her hands-on experience with end-of-life planning, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and navigating major transitions. She understands how quickly circumstances can change and how shock and overwhelm often follow.

In sessions she follows the client’s lead and uses curiosity to guide conversation. This helps clarify what matters most and find small, doable steps forward. People learn to recognize what motivates them and to reconnect with things that bring energy and meaning.

Her practice is located in Colorado and sessions are conducted in English. If you’re unsure whether her style fits your needs, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How her approaches translate to online support

Anne often draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily responses with gentle attention. That approach can reduce reactivity and make difficult feelings easier to sit with, which is useful for grief, stress, and chronic health challenges.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means conversations follow the client’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify what matters most so clients can choose next steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will discuss options and tailor techniques to your goals and comfort level. This collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize mindfulness, practical skills, or emotion-focused conversation.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter place without traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to be effective over distance while focusing on what matters most to the client.
