Anne Grenchus , LCSW, LICSW

Anne Grenchus brings an academic and practical lens to grief, trauma, and stress-related care through her work teaching master’s level grief and loss courses at the University of Albany and leading continuing education workshops for professionals. Her classroom and workshop roles keep her engaged with the latest empirical studies and clinical practices that have been shown to help with anxiety, panic, complicated grief, life transitions, caregiver burnout, and complex post-traumatic stress.

She is credentialed as an LCSW and an LICSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and uses that background to translate research into practical interventions for people facing intense life challenges. That combination of teaching and clinical focus supports an approach grounded in evidence-based techniques, tailored to the specific presentation and goals of each person seeking help.

Whether addressing panic symptoms, supporting someone through loss, or helping caregivers manage professional and personal strain, she draws on current, proven practices to create a treatment plan aligned with the client’s needs and circumstances.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Anne draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, and stress. These techniques are practical and skills-based, useful for reducing symptoms and building coping tools that transfer to daily life.

She also uses trauma-informed and grief-focused methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and processing of difficult memories and losses. These approaches support people navigating complicated grief, caregiver burnout, and post-traumatic stress by combining emotional support with structured therapeutic work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Anne works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adjust techniques so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity during life transitions or caregiving responsibilities. For many people, remote sessions increase flexibility and accessibility while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, evidence-informed support.
