About Ann

Ann Newman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, CSW) practicing in Colorado who helps people manage a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes compassionate, individualized care that honors each person's story and priorities. Ann draws on evidence-based methods to help clients develop coping strategies, increase self-compassion, and address obstacles to daily functioning and well-being.

Her work blends practical skill-building with exploratory, client-centered support, guiding clients through life changes, career challenges, parenting struggles, and complicated medical or caregiving situations. Ann pays particular attention to attachment patterns, communication difficulties, identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues, and complex co-occurring problems like bipolar disorder or chronic illness.

She aims to foster resilience and clearer self-understanding so clients can make sustainable changes that fit their lives.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support



Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or dysregulation, and it often includes practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, helping people build psychological flexibility and move toward meaningful life goals even when distress is present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to initial sessions and tailor methods accordingly so treatment fits each person's needs and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats allow for real-time skill coaching, reflective conversations, and ongoing check-ins that support steady progress without requiring a commute.
