About Anna
Anna Marasco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 11 years of experience working in trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her practice also addresses attachment struggles, abandonment issues, codependency, and related concerns.
She uses a client-centered, humanistic approach. She treats behaviors like substance use, self-harm, or emotional dysregulation as learned survival skills rather than fixed character flaws. Sessions tend to be direct and honest. She invites discussion of difficult material alongside successes and joy.
Anna adapts her techniques to each person rather than following a rigid checklist of coping tips. She pays attention to the different layers that shape a person - past trauma, grief, identity questions, and practical stressors. That means sessions can include exploring attachment patterns, practicing specific skills, or processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Her background includes work with PTSD, complicated grief, addictions, autism, personality issues, ADHD, and suicidality. She draws on multiple approaches to match the client’s needs and goals. Her style is supportive but active; she describes herself as an advocate and a partner in the work rather than someone who will do it for the client.
Outside of clinical work, Anna holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and rides horses. She brings straightforward language and real-life examples into sessions. To start, she asks people to identify what they want to change and then helps build steps toward those goals.
How sessions work
How Anna combines approaches for online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeated ways of relating, like people-pleasing or fear of abandonment, and try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in choosing the next steps. This approach can be helpful for people who feel judged or misunderstood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss options and help decide together which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That collaboration can mean mixing methods over time, for example exploring attachment patterns while practicing skills from CBT or DBT. Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The therapist’s biography does not specify exact session formats here, so check current options when you sign up. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting sessions happen from a location that better fits your schedule. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and methods to what you need, and Anna uses her range of approaches to match the work to the person.Areas of focus
