About Ann
Ann Newman is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and family concerns, including family of origin issues. She holds the CSW credential as well and works with adults on a range of emotional and practical problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills rather than labels or long explanations.
She uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. That can mean learning ways to handle strong emotions, practicing new communication habits, or breaking down problems into small steps. Conversations are direct and practical; clients leave with doable tools to try between sessions.
Ann often addresses attachment-related concerns and issues connected to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and parenting stress. She also supports people coping with grief, chronic health conditions, substance concerns, and changes tied to career or life transitions. These topics are explored in ways that relate to a person's current life and relationships.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to build skills for mood regulation, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve how people connect with others.
Ann works in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and subscription details. To begin, users choose the See online therapy options button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Ann commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centered techniques. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking action that aligns with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want clearer direction about what matters to them.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. It helps people recognize recurring roles and shift how they relate in close relationships. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping the therapist follow the person's concerns and pace rather than imposing a fixed agenda.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, concerns, and preferences. That choice can be revisited as needs change during care.
