Anne Grenchus, LCSW, LICSW

Anne Grenchus is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She also offers support for compassion fatigue and the specific strains of caregiving. Anne brings a calm, direct style that focuses on practical steps and clear talk to help people manage day-to-day challenges.

She teaches master’s-level grief and loss courses at the University at Albany and leads continuing education workshops for other professionals. That teaching keeps her familiar with current research and proven ways to address panic, grief, caregiver burnout, and complex post-traumatic stress. She draws on evidence-based practices shown to help reduce symptoms and improve coping.

Anne aims for sessions that feel straightforward and useful. She helps people name what’s most urgent, try specific strategies, and check what does and doesn’t work. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and focused conversation about what matters most to the person.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience and licensure as an LCSW and LICSW in New York and Vermont. She is based in Vermont and works in English. Anne’s experience with hospice, cancer, chronic illness, and caregiver stress shapes how she supports people facing long-term health and end-of-life concerns.

For people looking for support related to caregiving, aging, attachment concerns, or life transitions, Anne offers informed, research-aware guidance. She encourages practical steps alongside processing strong emotions.

Evidence-informed approaches and online therapy options

Anne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and practical skills. One common approach she references in her teaching targets anxiety and panic with step-by-step skills such as breathing work, exposure to feared situations, and gradual behavior changes to reduce avoidance.

Another approach she uses for grief and trauma emphasizes processing loss and difficult memories in manageable pieces. This involves guided conversation, meaning-making exercises, and building routines that help a person carry on day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their life, and adjust as needed. This collaborative stance helps match techniques to your needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a busy caregiving schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or avoid travel time. Online therapy can make it easier to continue care during life transitions while keeping sessions focused on practical coping and emotional processing.
