About Leigh
Leigh Ann Drew is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people feel heard and understood. Leigh Ann focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings while keeping the person’s goals front and center.
How Leigh works
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood. Clients often work on coping tools for intense emotions and strategies for handling life changes. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises to calm the body and motivational interviewing to build momentum toward goals.
Leigh Ann emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than big, vague promises. She has supported people dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and the specific strains of caregiving and aging. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, codependency, and end-of-life concerns.
Her style is practical and compassionate. Leigh Ann practices in Florida and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as formats for ongoing support.

How her approaches adapt to online care
Leigh Ann uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect emotions and behavior. That approach helps people understand patterns that show up in current relationships and in how they respond to stress and grief. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions that can reduce anxiety and depression. Finding the right fit is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that make sense for those goals. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as therapy moves forward. Online formats give flexibility for people balancing busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close and more like in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in is needed between other responsibilities. Live chat and text-based messaging can support shorter reflections, quick problem-solving, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into daily life and maintain momentum during change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same kinds of interventions described above, tailored to each person’s practical needs and goals.Start online instead of waiting
