Anne Grenchus, LCSW, LICSW

Anne Grenchus is a clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She supports those facing big life changes and people coping with compassion fatigue. Anne brings a calm, direct approach that focuses on what helps day to day.

She draws on current research and classroom experience to shape her sessions. Anne teaches master's level grief and loss classes at the University at Albany and delivers continuing education workshops for professionals. That ongoing teaching keeps her familiar with evidence-based practices for anxiety, panic, grief, caregiver burnout, and complex post-traumatic stress.

In sessions she aims to make goals clear and practical. Conversations move from understanding what is happening to simple steps a person can try between meetings. The work often includes skill-building for symptoms like panic attacks, ways to manage chronic stress, and tools to navigate illness, caregiving, or end-of-life concerns.

She can help people unpack family of origin issues, attachment concerns, feelings of guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of chronic pain or serious illness. Anne also supports those grappling with life purpose, forgiveness, and the experience of abandonment.

Anne holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials and has six years of clinical experience. She practices in Vermont and conducts her work in English. To start, readers complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target symptoms people bring to therapy. One approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and brief exposures that reduce acute symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach addresses grief and loss with guided processing and practical rituals to help people adapt to change and remember what matters.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans together based on what helps. Anne’s teaching work keeps her familiar with current research, and she uses that knowledge to choose and adapt techniques to each person's situation.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to continue care through major life changes, caregiving periods, or medical treatment by fitting therapy into the flow of everyday life.
