About Anna
Anna Marasco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 11 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively with trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction, and lists stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma among her primary concerns.
Anna uses a client-centered, humanistic stance. She looks at behaviors such as substance use, self-harm, or emotional outbursts as learned survival strategies rather than fixed identity. That means sessions often begin by naming what is happening now and how those behaviors helped someone get through earlier difficulties.
She invites both difficult material and moments of joy into sessions. Conversations will cover practical coping, patterns in relationships, and the ways past attachment wounds affect daily life. Anna says she adapts her approach based on what a person needs instead of running through a set list of coping skills.
Her clinical work includes approaches that address trauma, grief, and emotional regulation. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors, and on trauma work for intense or intrusive memories.
Outside of clinical work she holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and spends time riding her horse, Henry. The tone she brings is straightforward and supportive: she will help people identify goals, act as an advocate, and work alongside them rather than doing the work for them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current responses. Online sessions using this lens look at how trust, closeness, or distance show up now and what changes might feel manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down moments into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing small behavioral changes between appointments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those needs, and adjust what they do based on how useful it feels. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific options were not specified. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, requires less travel, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. If camera-free or shorter sessions are helpful, mention that when scheduling so practical arrangements can be discussed.
