About Leigh

Leigh Ann Drew is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with a decade of professional experience. She blends practical strategies with a compassionate, client-focused stance to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma and loss.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses parenting concerns, career and life transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges while honoring each person's unique story. Leigh Ann emphasizes the importance of a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and patterns that affect self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose.

She draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-oriented perspectives, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to individual needs. Additional interests include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and grief at the end of life.

Clients can expect someone who prioritizes collaboration and practical tools alongside emotional support. Leigh Ann encourages small, achievable steps toward meaningful change and helps people build coping skills to face transitions, improve communication, and reclaim a clearer sense of direction.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care

Leigh Ann frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client's priorities guide each session; this approach helps people feel heard and supports personal insight and self-directed growth. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness techniques are woven into her work to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce stress through grounding and breathing practices.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leigh Ann works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions from these modalities. Together they track progress and adjust strategies so care remains relevant and effective for each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate fluctuating energy or timing needs, and access consistent therapeutic support without geographic constraints.
