About Leigh
Leigh Ann Drew is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and supported.
Leigh Ann keeps sessions straightforward and people-centered. She listens to what matters most and helps clients build practical skills for daily life. Sessions often include tools for coping with change, improving communication, and reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments that can change them. Motivational interviewing shows up when clients are weighing choices or want to boost their commitment to change.
Leigh Ann has supported people facing complicated losses, post-traumatic stress, caregiving strain, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. She also addresses aging and hospice-related concerns and helps people explore life purpose and self-love. Her work includes supporting those dealing with ADHD, codependency, and family of origin problems.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Leigh Ann describes therapy as a collaborative process - she helps clients set goals, track progress, and adjust strategies as life changes unfold.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Leigh Ann uses client-centered work to create a listening space where people feel heard. This approach focuses on following the client’s lead and building goals together, which helps when someone needs to clarify what matters most in life.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. That method helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits by testing new ways of thinking and trying small behavioral changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh Ann collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is working and what isn’t.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options help people stay consistent with therapy around busy schedules and life demands.
