Anna MarascoLCSW

Anna Marasco is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience supporting people facing trauma, addiction, and complex loss. She brings a human-centered style and a practical attitude to sessions. Anna meets clients where they are and treats behaviors as learned ways to survive, not as fixed identities.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She invites both the hard parts and the joyful parts of life into therapy. Anna aims to help people name what matters to them and move toward goals they choose for themselves.

Anna has worked with a wide range of concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, neurodiversity, personality challenges, and suicidality. She pays attention to the many layers that shape a person's experience, such as attachment history and coping patterns.

Sessions focus on practical change and on building self-kindness. Techniques are selected to fit each person rather than following a rigid checklist of skills. She emphasizes collaborative planning and supports clients as they test new ways of coping.

Outside of clinical work, Anna holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and spends time with her horse, Henry. She describes her role in therapy as an advocate and steady presence who believes in the client's ability to grow and change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early connections to understand current reactions. It can help people who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeating hurtful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and some stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with traumatic memories to reduce their hold on daily life and can be helpful for PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions can shift as progress is made, combining strategies from different approaches when useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work and family, fewer travel needs, and the ability to check in from wherever you happen to be. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. A clear plan and small, doable goals help therapy fit into everyday life and make progress feel manageable.
