About Anna

Anna Marasco is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eleven years of experience in trauma, addiction, and dual diagnosis care. She focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them work toward goals they set for themselves. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she welcomes the messy parts of life as well as the hopeful ones.

Anna sees behaviors such as substance use or emotional outbursts as learned survival skills rather than fixed identity.

Background and approach

She uses that view to reduce shame and build practical alternatives. Sessions emphasize understanding patterns, learning tools that fit each person, and honoring progress no matter how small. Her clinical background includes work with post-traumatic stress, complicated grief, depression, anxiety, addictions, and neurodiversity such as autism.

She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, codependency, and difficulties with control or communication. This breadth helps her tailor approaches to what an individual actually needs in the moment. Anna adapts methods rather than sticking to a single model.

She draws on approaches that focus on relationships, present-moment experience, behavior change, and trauma processing. That flexibility aims to give clear, usable steps you can try between sessions. Outside of clinical work she holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and is an avid equestrian.

She describes herself as an advocate and a steady supporter - someone who believes people can change and who will help them try new ways of coping.

Online support

How Anna’s Approaches Translate Online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practice different ways of relating, and strengthen emotional connection skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches straightforward strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which works well in video or chat formats for homework and skill practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, addresses traumatic memories through structured processing and can be adapted for online sessions with clear step-by-step pacing and support.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and past experience to decide which methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for the person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill coaching, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions. These options let people keep continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or transportation challenges.
