Anne Karsian

Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Colorado and New Mexico and has seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, loss and life transitions, and also supports people dealing with family conflicts, self-esteem concerns, career difficulties, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger management, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Her professional background includes work in acute care hospital settings as well as palliative and hospice care organizations, where she has assisted individuals and families at pivotal moments in their lives. She has particular experience and interest in working with older adults facing complex decisions such as advanced care planning and downsizing.

She recognizes that transitions often bring isolation, loss of independence, or increased reliance on others, and that these changes can occur suddenly or alongside traumatic events. Anne begins by listening to each person’s story in their own words and at their own pace, letting curiosity guide the conversation so people can feel truly seen rather than shaped by others' expectations.

Through developing greater self-understanding and exploring what motivates behavior, clients frequently discover renewed interest and moments of joy. Anne acknowledges the courage it takes to face the wide range of feelings that accompany loss - from overwhelm to emotional numbness - and values the role of seeking support to move through painful, uncomfortable times. She looks forward to hearing each story and helping people navigate difficult, sad, or confusing periods in their lives.
