About Anne
Anne Guarino is a New York LCSW-R with 25 years in the human services field. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, and major life transitions. Her practice is aimed at people navigating the pressures of starting out or shifting course in early adulthood and beyond.
She uses a mix of practical tools and conversational work. That can mean learning concrete skills for handling anxiety or practicing new ways to talk about relationship patterns. She also helps people name and sit with difficult emotions so those feelings become easier to manage.
Sessions are collaborative. Anne will listen to what matters most, outline possible ways to work together, and check in about what is working as treatment progresses. She tends to pair short-term strategies for symptom relief with deeper work on attachment, communication, and long-standing patterns.
Her background includes long experience with grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and workplace issues. She has supported people dealing with abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and major life changes such as divorce or career shifts.
Anne works in English from New York and brings two and a half decades of practice to each case. People often come to her for help with feeling stuck after school or early in a career, coping with relationship strain, or finding steadiness through loss and life transitions.
Approaches used in online sessions
Anne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, offering practical skill-building alongside deeper work. One common approach focuses on learning tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and short cognitive strategies to interrupt unhelpful thoughts. These techniques are useful for everyday pressure, work stress, and panic moments.She also works with attachment and relationship patterns, helping people recognize how early interactions affect current relationships. That work involves mapping recurring dynamics, practicing clearer communication, and trying small behavioral changes to test new ways of relating. These methods often help with relationship strain, divorce-related adjustment, and family conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anne treats sessions as collaborative and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the mix of practical skills and deeper exploration as progress is made.
