Anna Marasco, LCSW

Anna Marasco is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience supporting people through trauma, dual diagnosis, and addiction. She practices from a humanistic, client-centered stance, approaching behaviors such as substance use, self-harm, or emotional dysregulation as learned survival skills rather than defining characteristics. She holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which authorizes her to provide clinical mental health care, and she also has a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing, reflecting a deep interest in narrative and meaning.

Marasco emphasizes meeting clients where they are and adapting her approach to the layered complexity of each person rather than offering one-size-fits-all coping tips. She invites exploration of the difficult and hidden parts of experience alongside strengths, successes, and sources of joy, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client sets goals and she provides advocacy and support. Her clinical experience spans PTSD, complicated grief and loss, gender identity concerns, anxiety, depression, ADHD, suicidality, autism, addictions, personality disorders, OCD, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Outside of clinical work she maintains creative pursuits and a strong connection with horses; she is an avid equestrian and often references her bond with her horse, Henry. Her approach balances practical therapeutic tools with compassion for both the darker and brighter parts of a person’s life, encouraging growth while honoring the survival strategies that have helped people get this far.
