Leigh Ann Drew

Leigh Ann Drew is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the challenges that come with parenting and life change. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel safer and more manageable.

Leigh Ann creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard things. She listens for what matters most to each person and works with them to set practical goals. Sessions often include grounding skills for anxiety, steps to process grief, and strategies to handle daily stressors.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on client-centered care to keep the client's priorities central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.

Leigh Ann blends practical coaching with therapy-focused work for people who want clearer next steps. She helps clients build self-compassion and stronger coping skills over time. Her work often addresses career concerns, burnout, and compassion fatigue alongside personal issues.

People who choose her work with a therapist who aims to be collaborative, steady, and goal oriented. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what the client hopes to change. That information guides how therapy is shaped going forward.

How her approaches fit online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be a place to notice how people relate and practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, which can translate well to a video or phone session where the conversation drives the agenda. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns; those exercises can be reviewed and practiced during remote meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what feels most useful. That shared decision helps guide whether attachment ideas, CBT, mindfulness, or a mix will be emphasized.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so people can keep therapy consistent. If you want to use this therapist's services, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online visits can make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments and practice skills in everyday life.
