About Anne

Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate loss, big life shifts, and the heavy feelings that follow. She listens first and aims to understand each person’s story at their own pace. Her approach is steady and patient, with attention to what matters most to the individual.

She has seven years of experience working in hospitals, palliative care, and hospice settings. That work brought her alongside people facing serious illness, end-of-life decisions, and sudden changes in independence. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, caregiver stress, and the practical challenges that come with aging.

In sessions she begins by asking questions and following the person’s lead. Conversations focus on helping someone feel seen and understood. From there she helps people make sense of their feelings and notice what matters to them now.

Her style draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to strengthen understanding in relationships and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and small steps forward.

People often seek her help for grief, chronic illness, caregiver strain, family stress, and major life transitions. She works with clients to uncover what motivates them and to find new ways to bring meaning or joy back into daily life. To begin, she invites people to tell their story and decide the pace of change together.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online work

Anne often blends client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness in her practice. Client-centered work means she focuses on hearing a person’s story and following their pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed depression or anxiety. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings so they feel less overwhelming.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to test what helps most, adjust methods over time, and set small, achievable goals together. The goal is to find tools that fit the person’s needs and daily life rather than insisting on one method from the start.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten the time spent commuting, or allow for a quicker check-in when energy is low. They can also make follow-up work or skill practice between meetings easier to manage. Discuss session length and frequency with her when scheduling to match what will work best for everyday life.
