Anna Marasco, LCSW

Anna Marasco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with 11 years of experience working in trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions center on practical changes and understanding how coping behaviors developed. She speaks English and works from a social work perspective grounded in everyday life.

Anna uses a client-centered stance that treats behaviors like substance use or self-harm as learned survival strategies rather than labels. She helps people talk through what they do, how they learned to cope, and what matters to them now. Sessions are conversational and direct, with attention to both difficult feelings and small gains.

Her background includes many years with people facing PTSD, complicated grief, anxiety, depression, autism, addictions, and overlapping diagnoses. Anna notes attention to attachment issues, abandonment, dissociation, personality concerns, and caregiver stress among other focus areas. She draws on her experience to adapt approaches to each person’s situation.

Therapeutic work may include practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches alongside attachment-based ideas. EMDR is also part of her practice when appropriate. Anna emphasizes collaboration and helps clients identify goals they want to work toward.

Outside of clinical work she holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and spends spare time with her horse, Henry. Her style is straightforward and supportive: she stays alongside people while they do the work needed to change patterns and reduce distress.
