About Anne
Anne Grenchus helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and ongoing panic symptoms. Anne is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - and holds a LICSW credential as well.
She keeps language plain and sessions focused on practical next steps. Conversations usually look at what feels most painful now and which small changes could make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Anne draws on current research and classroom teaching to shape the work. Her background includes teaching graduate-level grief and loss classes at the University at Albany. She has also led continuing education workshops for other professionals, which helps her stay current on effective methods for anxiety, grief, caregiver burnout, and complex post-traumatic stress.
Anne brings six years of clinical experience to her practice. That experience includes supporting people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, family of origin issues, and end-of-life concerns. She helps people name what matters and try manageable ways to cope.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. The therapist helps people set goals, try new strategies, and track what is or isn’t helpful. Anne works from Vermont and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches for online stress, grief, and trauma care
Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and panic by teaching breath work, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. This helps people reduce immediate overwhelm and feel more able to face everyday tasks.Another approach Anne draws on addresses grief and loss through guided processing and memory work. Sessions help people make sense of what was lost, honor difficult feelings, and find ways to carry forward what matters. These methods can be helpful for hospice, end-of-life concerns, and long-term caregiving strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals, symptoms, and practical limits and then suggests strategies to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively what fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
