About Ann
Ann Newman is a licensed social worker based in Colorado who focuses on helping people handle stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and uses straightforward, practical approaches to help people feel steadier day to day. Ann explains things plainly and works with each person to set realistic goals for change.
She spends sessions helping clients build better routines, manage overwhelming feelings, and tackle sleep and eating challenges that make daily life harder. Conversations cover concrete skills such as grounding, planning small behavior changes, and improving communication with important people in life. The work aims to strengthen coping skills and reduce repeated patterns that drain energy.
Ann blends several therapy styles to match a person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful steps, and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also draws on client-centered listening to prioritize what matters most to each person.
Sessions often include short, doable practice tasks between meetings so progress continues outside the room. Ann supports people dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and identity-focused issues among other problems. She aims to create an affirming space where people can try new ways of coping and rest more easily.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small steps that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, sleep disruption, and making steady changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new habits that improve mood and rest. It is often used for insomnia, depression, and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect stress and sleep; it can help people change how they relate to others and feel safer in relationships.Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to current struggles, goals, and daily routines, then suggest a mix of methods to try. Together the person and therapist adjust the plan if something isn’t working or needs to be slower or more focused on rest and sleep habits.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. It also supports using home routines as material in sessions, such as reviewing a sleep log or trying a relaxation exercise during the meeting. Many people find this flexibility helps them practice changes more consistently.
