Leigh Ann Drew

Leigh Ann Drew is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a calm, person-focused approach. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. Her style aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical next steps.

Leigh Ann draws on ten years of professional experience in Florida. She creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings. Conversations are paced to each person, and sessions focus on what matters most right now.

Her practice often blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening. That means attention to relationships and to the person’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people manage stress and make changes they want. These tools are practical and short-term when needed, or deeper for longer work on life direction and self-worth.

Leigh Ann supports people who are coping with life changes, career concerns, caregiving strain, and feelings of overwhelm. She encourages small, doable steps toward a clearer sense of purpose and self-compassion. If you want straightforward support and guidance, she helps you map a path forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Leigh Ann often uses attachment-based work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior and can help when caregiving stress, family of origin issues, or attachment concerns are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She discusses your goals and preferences, then tries methods that match what you need. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan together with you so sessions stay useful and goal-focused.

Session logistics and exact formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can use a mix of techniques in virtual sessions to build momentum and support gradual change.
