Anne Karsian, LCSW, CSW

Anne Karsian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds an additional social work credential (CSW). She has extensive experience working in acute care hospital settings as well as in palliative and hospice care, supporting individuals and families when they face pivotal, often painful moments in life.

Her practice focuses on grief, loss and life transitions, with particular experience assisting older adults as they confront decisions about advanced care planning and downsizing. She frequently supports people coping with isolation, shifting independence, and the sudden or traumatic events that can accompany major life changes.

Anne begins by listening to each person’s story at their own pace, letting curiosity guide the conversation so people feel heard and seen rather than fitting someone else’s expectations. By exploring personal motivations and responses, she helps people identify ways to reconnect with interest and joy in daily life.

She recognizes the courage it takes to name the wide range of feelings that come with loss and transition. Overwhelm, numbness, and difficulty finding pleasure are common, and Anne draws on her years of experience to help clients move through uncomfortable and painful periods with compassion and practical support. She looks forward to hearing each story and offering steady guidance during difficult, sad, or confusing times.
