About Ann
Ann Newman is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes, and she lists parenting and family among her focus areas.
She prefers a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions look at everyday problems such as sleep, eating, work stress, and relationship friction. She also supports issues like addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and chronic illness challenges.
Ann uses several practical therapies to help people change unhelpful patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and small steps, and attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape responses. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are helpful.
Her work often includes communication practice and coaching-style feedback so clients can try new ways of handling conflict and parenting stress. She also addresses identity concerns, including LGBT issues, body image, and kink-aware topics when relevant to an individual's goals.
Ann notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and that cost varies with location. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Ann uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or depression. CBT is practical and task-oriented, with exercises to try between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, which can be useful for coping with life transitions and persistent worries.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships affect reactions today. That work focuses on communication patterns and building more reliable ways of relating. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a weekday break, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep continuity during busy periods. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and make it easier to bring written notes or worksheets into the conversation. Licensed professionals can help adapt tools used in CBT, ACT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting.
