About Anne
Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on grief, loss, and life transitions. She brings a calm presence and practical support to people navigating sudden change. Anne works to hear each person’s story at their own pace and help them feel understood during hard times.
She has seven years of experience and a background in acute care hospitals, palliative services, and hospice settings. That work exposed her to people facing medical crises, end-of-life choices, and caregiving challenges. Anne has particular experience with older adults dealing with downsizing, advanced care planning, and shifts in independence.
In sessions she begins by listening and asking curious questions. That conversational approach aims to help people notice what matters to them and what gets in the way of feeling more engaged in life. She draws on client-centered methods and uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when helpful.
Anne also brings ideas from emotionally-focused therapy and motivational interviewing to support decision making and emotional clarity. She describes the work as collaborative - discovering values, identifying small steps, and testing what helps. People often come for help with family strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, codependency, anxiety, anger, and compassion fatigue.
If someone is coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving burdens, or bereavement, Anne offers a steady, practical presence. To begin, she invites people to share their story and identifies simple, doable goals for the next steps.
How Anne’s approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can better understand their own priorities. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to tell their story and name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, examines thoughts and behaviors together and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions that affect relationships and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne partners with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That collaboration can mean trying a gentle blend of listening, practical CBT tools, and emotion-focused exercises until something clicks.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also allows continuity of care during health or mobility challenges and makes it simpler to involve notes, worksheets, or mindfulness practices between sessions.
