About Anne
Anne (Annie) Harton Kassell is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and family conflict. She works with individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed and prefer a practical, down-to-earth approach.
Background and approach
Annie speaks plainly and focuses on small steps that can make daily life easier. Annie believes clients know their own story and brings curiosity to learn what matters most.
She emphasizes strengths and practical change over labels. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, real-life strategies, and improving communication so problems feel more manageable.
Her work draws on several approaches that help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She uses ideas from attachment-based and emotion-focused work to understand how relationships shape feelings.
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Annie has nine years of professional experience and holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT.
She practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. People who prefer straightforward guidance about relationships, family dynamics, or everyday anxiety often find her style accessible.
She aims to support clients as they make practical changes, improve communication, and build more satisfying routines. The focus is on achievable steps and learning skills that can be used outside of sessions.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Anne draws on Gottman Method ideas to help people notice interaction patterns and learn practical skills for better communication and conflict management. This approach focuses on clear, teachable strategies that often suit relationship and interaction concerns.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape feelings and responses in close relationships. That work helps people understand emotional needs and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach as well, offering a supportive, respectful space where the client's goals guide the work.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest techniques from these approaches based on what the client wants to accomplish. They will adjust methods over time to match progress and feedback.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing new interaction skills. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and messaging can be used for brief updates, homework, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
