About Ann
Ann Newman is a Colorado-based LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 13 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and attention-related concerns.
She uses practical talking and problem-solving to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Ann often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thinking and try new responses. She also works with acceptance-based practices and attachment-informed ideas when they fit the situation.
Sessions focus on concrete steps. That can mean learning skills for managing intense feelings, building routines for sleep and eating, or practicing communication techniques for strained relationships. She integrates grounding and emotion-regulation tools when trauma or strong emotions are present.
Ann’s background as a clinical social worker shapes a person-centered style. She pays attention to life context - work demands, caregiving roles, medical issues, or cultural and identity concerns can change what strategies make sense. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to those assessments.
For people facing complicated or overlapping problems - such as chronic illness plus mood symptoms, or grief alongside parenting stress - she considers multiple contributing factors and practical next steps. Prospective clients in Colorado who read this are encouraged to confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her approaches fit into online work
Ann frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and test specific behavior changes. CBT is practical and goal-focused, helping with anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep problems, and everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her toolkit; ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and build values-based actions rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her view of relationship and intimacy problems by looking at how early and current relationships shape reactions and expectations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review a person’s goals, history, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix makes the most sense and then set short-term, practical goals to try out between sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins around work or caregiving responsibilities. They can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and follow through on homework between sessions. Ask about the available session options when scheduling to match format with needs.
