Anne (Annie) Harton Kassell is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and family conflict. She works with clients to untangle difficult moments and find clearer ways forward. Annie speaks plainly and focuses on practical next steps that people can try between sessions.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. The work begins by listening to what matters most and building on those strengths. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s comfort and goals.

Annie draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide the process. That can look like identifying patterns in relationships, practicing new ways to talk with others, or noticing thoughts that increase anxiety.

She has nine years of experience and holds the LMFT credential as a marriage and family therapist. Annie is licensed in New Jersey and Arizona and practices from Indiana. Her background includes helping people with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin difficulties.

People also turn to her for support with forgiveness, isolation or loneliness, money and financial stress, life purpose questions, midlife transitions, and some men’s issues. Anhnie offers straightforward guidance and aims to help people leave sessions with one or two manageable steps to try.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. It helps people notice how early bonds affect current trust, closeness, and reactions in relationships, so they can try new ways of connecting.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what matters most and offering support that fits the person's pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the online process. The therapist will talk with clients about needs, goals, and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. That collaborative planning may mix elements from different approaches as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and practice conversations in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter updates, quick reflections, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
