About Anne
Anne Grenchus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Vermont with six years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and the strain of life changes, including compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
She teaches master’s level grief and loss classes at the University at Albany and leads continuing education workshops for professionals. That teaching keeps her connected to current research and clinical practices used for anxiety, panic, grief, and trauma. Clients can expect interventions informed by recent findings rather than outdated approaches.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She talks through ways to manage panic attacks, reduce daily anxiety, and cope after loss. Sessions also address longer-term problems like attachment concerns, family of origin issues, and complex reactions after trauma.
Anne works with people dealing with chronic illness, cancer-related stress, chronic pain, and end-of-life caregiving. She also helps people examine codependency, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Therapy aims to clarify goals and add manageable skills to daily life. People who are unsure about next steps can start by describing their current struggles and what they hope to change. The first sessions are practical and focused on priorities and coping strategies.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Anne uses evidence-based techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change anxious thoughts that fuel panic and avoidance, offering concrete strategies to test and revise worries. Exposure-based methods provide gradual, guided steps to face fears and reduce avoidance over time, which is often helpful for social anxiety and phobic responses.She also applies grief-focused practices that help people process loss and develop coping routines after bereavement or major life changes. These approaches aim to make practical shifts in how someone manages intense emotions and responsibilities, such as caregiving or chronic illness stress.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. That plan can be adjusted as work proceeds so methods fit the person’s needs and daily life.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten a commute, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. It also allows regular check-ins that build skills between appointments and helps integrate coping strategies into everyday routines.
