Ann Newman

Ann Newman is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the effects of major life changes. She works with concerns that include addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting struggles, grief, and challenges tied to identity and sexuality. Ann brings 13 years of experience to her practice and frames sessions around each person’s real-world needs.

She aims for a warm, down-to-earth style in the room. Conversations are practical and focused on small, doable steps. Ann listens for what matters most to each person and then helps build skills for everyday situations like sleep problems, workplace strain, or managing intense emotions.

Ann uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action, and attachment-based work to look at patterns in relationships. She also draws on dialectical strategies for emotion regulation and client-centered principles that keep the person’s goals first.

Her work often focuses on rebuilding self-worth, repairing communication, and reducing isolation. Ann supports people dealing with abandonment concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Practical matters are handled straightforwardly. Sessions follow the goals you set together. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire is completed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It can help with worry, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current interactions, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and decide together which methods to emphasize. That collaboration helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments during work or caregiving days. Different approaches can be adapted to brief check-ins, longer skill-focused sessions, or paced work over weeks depending on what the client and therapist agree will serve the goals best.
