About Ann

Ann Newman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Colorado who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance issues. She also supports work on self-esteem, grief, relationship strain, and the everyday strain of life changes. Ann aims for straightforward, compassionate care that fits each person's situation.

With 13 years of experience, Ann uses a practical, person-centered style. Sessions focus on clear tools and steady emotional support. Conversations emphasize building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening resilience in daily life.

Her approach blends several methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and take action. Attachment-based ideas help look at patterns in relationships and connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports making choices that match personal values while managing difficult feelings.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Ann works to make goals concrete and manageable. She offers space to talk about identity, intimacy, parenting stresses, career pressures, and issues like ADHD or chronic illness.

Ann welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and aims for inclusive, respectful care. She holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW). If you want to see whether she might be a fit, she encourages a brief initial conversation to outline goals and next steps.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to move forward despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting; it can help when relationship patterns or trust issues get in the way of well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann aims to partner with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and preferences. She looks at symptoms, life demands, and what a person hopes to change, then adjusts the mix of methods over time in a collaborative way.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm what formats are available so you know how sessions will be delivered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and to tailor pacing and homework to everyday life.
