I don't understand completely what you want.
Why don't you take the series expansion at Pi/2
Compare the plots of the following expressions
In[151]:=
o[z_] := Csc[z]
In[152]:=
ser1 = Normal[o[z] + O[z, 0]^4]
Out[152]=
1/z + z/6 + (7*z^3)/360
In[154]:=
ser2 = Normal[o[z] + O[z, Pi]^4]
Out[154]=
(Pi - z)/6 - 1/(-Pi + z) - (7/360)*(-Pi + z)^3
In[176]:=
Plot[{o[z], ser1, ser2}, {z, 0, 2*Pi}, ImageSize -> 600, PlotStyle ->
{Blue, Red, Orange}]
