About Anna
Anna Marasco is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience supporting people facing trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, and depression. She takes a human-centered approach and invites clients to bring both the difficult and the hopeful parts of their lives into sessions. Anna frames coping behaviors as survival skills rather than flaws, and she aims to meet people where they are without judgment.
Her background includes work with dual diagnosis, PTSD, complicated grief, suicidality, and a range of mood and personality concerns. She also has experience related to autism, ADD/ADHD, and substance use. This breadth of experience helps her tailor her approach to the particular challenges each person brings.
Anna mixes practical tools with compassionate listening. She avoids rote lists of coping tips and instead helps clients understand patterns of behavior and try new ways of responding. She describes herself as an advocate in the room who believes in her clients' capacity to change and grow.
Outside of clinical work, Anna holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and enjoys equestrian life with her horse, Henry. Her interests inform a warm, relatable style in session and a respect for creative, personal meaning.
To begin, she encourages people to recognize the step they are taking toward help. Sessions focus on client-identified goals and building skills that fit each person’s life and values.
How Anna’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Anna uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and help manage anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, trust, or intimacy concerns.
She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes being listened to and respected; sessions center the client's goals and pacing. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with the person about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like scheduling around work, school, or caregiving. It can reduce travel time and let someone check in from a quieter location when that fits better. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available with this therapist, and together you can choose the setup that best supports your goals.
