Ann Newman is a Colorado-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges with self esteem. She brings 13 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures. Ann aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people wrestling with big emotions or life changes.
Her style is warm and person-centered. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the individual. She listens for patterns that get in the way of feeling confident and helps people try new ways of responding to old problems.
Ann uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment tools to clarify values and build action, and attachment-informed work to repair relational hurts. She avoids jargon and focuses on clear steps clients can practice between sessions.
Clients often work on improving self-esteem, navigating grief or loss, coping with burnout, and managing relationship or intimacy concerns. Ann also supports people dealing with ADHD, addiction, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and complex health or chronic pain issues.
Her practice emphasizes respect and inclusion. Sessions move at a practical pace aimed at building resilience and useful coping skills. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Ann’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Ann commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that fit remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, concrete steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to see which methods match a person’s goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Decisions about techniques are made together, so clients feel involved in how therapy proceeds.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can work on a lunch break, or a phone conversation can be used when video is not convenient. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help them keep continuity during life changes, while still doing the same practical exercises and skills practice used in person.
