About Anna
Anna Marasco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 11 years of experience. She has worked extensively with trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction, and lists stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and abuse among her core concerns. Sessions are presented in everyday language and focus on practical change rather than labels.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered work and attachment-based ideas. She views behaviors like substance use or self-harm as learned survival skills rather than defining traits. In session she helps people name those learned responses and consider alternative ways to manage hard moments. She also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical techniques when they fit the person’s goals.
Anna adapts her methods to each person instead of following a fixed checklist of coping tactics. She encourages people to bring the parts they hide as well as their strengths. That includes addressing complicated grief, PTSD, mood concerns, attention differences, and relationship problems. She also notes experience with issues such as codependency, dissociation, and caregiver stress.
Outside clinical work she holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and spends free time riding her horse. That personal background informs a practical, straightforward style in sessions. Her tone is direct and human, aimed at helping people make manageable changes.
People often come to Anna to better understand how family patterns and attachment history still shape daily life. She works with each person to clarify goals, try new skills, and reflect on progress in short, concrete steps.
How Anna’s approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations for closeness and trust. In sessions this can mean looking at current relationship patterns and practicing different ways of relating and expressing needs. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspectives; the therapist listens closely and supports the person's choices rather than imposing a strict plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into specific parts to test and change through small experiments and practice. Picking the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining elements from attachment work, CBT, or other tools to match what’s helpful. Confirm the exact online session formats before booking. If you choose remote sessions, practical benefits include fitting meetings around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins for quick concerns, and options that may require less bandwidth or no camera. These practical features make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling everyday responsibilities.Areas of expertise
