About Anna
Anna Marasco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her practice also addresses attachment and relationship concerns, body image, caregiver strain, dissociation, and several personality and neurodiversity-related issues.
Anna uses a client-centered, human-focused approach. She treats behaviors like substance use or self-harm as learned survival skills rather than fixed identity. Sessions are practical and direct. She invites the hard, messy parts people hide as well as the moments they feel proud of.
Her background includes extensive work with trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction. She has helped people with PTSD, complicated grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and addictions. She also supports those managing control issues, codependency, communication problems, and coping after disasters.
In session Anna adapts methods to the person in front of her instead of following a preset checklist of coping tips. She draws on attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, EMDR, and client-centered listening. The aim is to identify patterns, try different ways of responding, and build on what already works for each person.
Outside of clinical work Anna holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and rides horses. That personal side shows up in how she works: practical, plainspoken, and willing to sit with the difficult material while helping people move toward goals they name.
How her approaches translate to online work
Anna commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral strategies. Attachment-focused work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships. Client-centered listening means sessions prioritize the person's experience, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean combining attachment ideas with CBT skills or using dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and EMDR for processing traumatic memories.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to meet without being on camera or to choose a quieter setting that works for them. Work together with the therapist to set an online plan that fits daily life and the goals you bring to sessions.
