About Anna

Anna Marasco is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience in trauma, addiction, and dual diagnosis. She practices in Utah and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and substance concerns. Anna takes a down-to-earth, human approach and meets people where they are without judgment.

She views coping behaviors as learned survival strategies rather than fixed character flaws. In sessions she invites honest, messy material alongside strengths and successes.

Background and approach

That means clients can bring hard feelings, confusing behaviors, and small victories into the room and work on them together. Her background includes work with PTSD, complicated grief, mood disorders, autism spectrum concerns, personality differences, suicidality, and addictions. She draws on several methods to match what each person needs rather than use one fixed plan.

This approach helps address both immediate symptoms and the patterns that keep problems repeating. Anna blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies when helpful. She also uses EMDR for trauma processing as appropriate.

The goal is practical change - reducing distress, improving coping, and helping clients move toward the life they want. Outside of clinical work she holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and is an avid equestrian. That mix of creativity and clinical experience informs a flexible, empathic style that supports people through difficult transitions and healing work.

Online support

Attachment work and practical skills via online therapy

Anna uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. That approach looks at how early bonds shape expectations and reactions, and it can help with anxiety, abandonment fears, and trust problems. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like worry and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, then adapt methods over time. That might mean starting with present-focused skills, exploring attachment patterns, or using trauma-focused techniques when it fits the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth needed. Live chat or text messaging can provide shorter, timely support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
