About Anne

Anne (Annie) Harton Kassell is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Indiana who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and family conflict.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, and emotionally-focused methods to help people explore patterns that contribute to distress. Annie frames clients as the experts of their own stories and seeks to highlight strengths that support change.

Her style is collaborative and empowering, inviting clients to take active steps toward greater satisfaction and emotional balance. She also attends to related issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, and questions of life purpose and identity.

Annie aims to help clients build practical skills while honoring the personal meaning behind their struggles. Clients who work with her can expect thoughtful listening paired with structured interventions when helpful.

She emphasizes courage and gradual progress, supporting people as they pursue more fulfilling relationships and a more grounded sense of well-being.

Online approaches for relationships and emotional balance

Anne integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage stress, while attachment-based approaches explore relational patterns and early connections to help improve how people relate to others and handle conflict. Both approaches can be adapted to address relationship concerns, communication problems, and emotional regulation in an online setting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, blending structured techniques and relational exploration as needed to match each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or access care from home. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions while using methods like skill practice, reflective exercises, and communication work adapted for remote formats.
