Anna Hallinan , LCSW, CSW

Anna Hallinan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado with four years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Anna centers women's issues among her focus areas and aims to help people reconnect with themselves and their relationships.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions move at a practical pace so people can slow down, notice what's happening, and try different ways of responding. She listens for what matters most and helps clients build small, usable skills for daily life.

Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and somatic practices. Those tools are chosen to match each person's goals - whether that means managing overwhelming emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or becoming more embodied in daily life.

She also brings values of Health at Every Size and fat-positive therapy into conversations about body image and eating or food-related concerns. Anna works with people processing sexual assault, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and workplace stress. Young adult issues and post-traumatic stress are additional areas she addresses.

Anna trained for her Master of Social Work at Metropolitan State University and has worked in both private practice and community mental health settings. Her approach is steady, compassionate, and focused on helping people find practical ways to feel more like themselves again.

Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life

Anna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter, even when emotions feel big. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of responding to stressful situations. Mindfulness and somatic practices are woven in to support body awareness and reduce overwhelm during intense emotions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match goals, comfort level, and daily life. As needs change, the plan can shift so the therapy stays practical and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read facial expression and body language. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between live sessions or offer an option for those who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, travel schedules, or busy days while still working with a licensed professional.
