Anne Grenchus is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, life changes, and compassion fatigue. She brings a calm, practical approach to conversations about panic, trauma, caregiving strain, and end-of-life concerns. Anne is based in Vermont and works from a background of clinical practice and teaching. She teaches master’s-level grief and loss courses at the University at Albany and leads continuing education workshops for professionals.

She draws on that ongoing learning when shaping sessions. In meetings she focuses on clear, manageable steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions include talking through current problems, naming helpful coping strategies, and practicing techniques to reduce overwhelming symptoms. She aims to help people feel more steady and able to make decisions when life feels disrupted. Anne also supports people facing serious illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stresses of caregiving. She helps people process grief, confusion, and the complicated emotions that come with major life transitions. Her work often includes addressing family of origin issues, attachment wounds, guilt, and shame. With six years of clinical experience, Anne combines hands-on practice with teaching to keep her skills current. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and works in Vermont, offering therapeutic support grounded in current evidence and real-world experience.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Anne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, panic, grief, and complex trauma. One common approach focuses on skills training and symptom management - teaching breathing, grounding, and pacing techniques that help reduce panic and overwhelming anxiety. Another approach emphasizes grief-focused work - helping people name losses, organize memories, and find ways to carry those losses forward without getting stuck. Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time. This collaborative stance helps match techniques to the person’s needs and daily life. For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, limit travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue care while managing medical appointments, caregiving demands, or geographic distance. Licensed professionals tailor the plan so therapy fits the client’s schedule and priorities.
