Leigh Ann Drew, LCSW

Leigh Ann Drew is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on listening closely to what matters most to each person.

She aims to create a space where clients can name difficult feelings and try small changes. Sessions tend to focus on practical next steps, skill-building, and understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. Leigh Ann helps people cope with life transitions, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and symptoms of depression and ADHD.

Her work also includes support around adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life concerns. She uses approaches that emphasize relationships, present-moment awareness, and goal-based problem solving to address these topics.

In a typical session she listens for what feels stuck, discusses strategies that fit daily life, and checks in about progress between meetings. Clients leave with simple tools they can try between sessions and a plan for the next step.

Leigh Ann holds an LCSW license in Florida. She works in English and draws on a blend of attachment-focused, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and motivational techniques to tailor care to each person.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics in relationships. It can be useful for struggles with trust, communication, and connection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are, helping clients feel heard and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh Ann will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques together with clients rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so therapy is easier to keep. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, guided exercises, and between-session tasks to make progress in fewer than ideal circumstances, and this therapist will help tailor the practical details to the client's life.
