About Drew

Drew Bost is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Drew aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.

She uses clear, direct conversation tailored to each person's needs. She listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual.

How Drew works

Sessions focus on practical strategies and small steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelming feelings. Drew draws on several approaches depending on the concern. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space where people set the pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced alternatives. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past events continue to cause distress. Her work often centers on issues like abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and panic attacks.

She also supports people coping with post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, forgiveness challenges, and young adult transitions. In sessions Drew aims to be respectful, calm, and practical. She combines talk-based work with targeted techniques so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

The result is a straightforward plan that focuses on measurable progress and emotional relief.

Online support options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting atmosphere where the person sets the pace and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and reflects what matters most so people feel heard and clearer about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a hands-on method that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when past events keep causing distress. It works by combining guided attention with memory processing to reduce emotional intensity tied to those memories.

Drew treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust plans based on how the person responds. Goals, comfort, and practical needs help guide which methods are used.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep progress during busy weeks.
