About Anna

Anna Marasco is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience in trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction. She approaches people with a nonjudgmental, human-centered stance and invites whatever they bring to session. Anna emphasizes practical support and steady advocacy rather than quick fixes.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. She pays attention to patterns such as codependency, dissociation, attachment issues, and behaviors people use to cope.

Background and approach

She frames many coping behaviors as learned survival skills, not as evidence of who someone is. Sessions aim to identify what a person wants to change and build a path toward those goals. Anna adapts her methods to the person in front of her instead of following a rigid checklist of techniques.

She encourages trying different tools and learning what fits the client’s life. Anna mixes humanistic, client-centered values with practical therapies such as cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate. She acts as an advocate and guide while supporting clients to do the day-to-day work of change.

Her style is direct but compassionate. Outside of clinical work she holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and enjoys riding her horse, Henry. Those personal interests inform her belief that healing often includes story, creativity, and steady practice.

Online support

How Anna blends therapies in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape trust and emotional patterns. In sessions this approach helps people notice connection habits and learn safer ways of relating to themselves and others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distress tied to those memories. Each approach offers a different way to address painful experiences and everyday struggles.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person's needs and pace.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full sessions with visual cues, phone calls work well when video is not possible, chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
