About Leigh
Leigh Ann Drew is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and related issues such as self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations that help clients understand what is happening now and why old patterns keep repeating.
Leigh Ann uses attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered work to look at how early relationships influence current behavior. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the client’s goals.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens to what a person reports about their life and offers clear strategies to test between sessions. That can include small experiments, new communication habits, or ways to manage panic and worry. The goal is to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Leigh Ann pays attention to family of origin issues and how roles from childhood can shape adult choices. She helps people talk through parental expectations, patterns of closeness or distance, and repeated cycles of conflict. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Clients who want coaching around career or life purpose can work on concrete steps. Those facing grief, compassion fatigue, or post-traumatic stress get focused tools for coping and pacing their recovery.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions
Leigh Ann often combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice emotional reactions tied to those patterns. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and responds.She also uses client-centered listening to make sure goals are driven by the person in front of her. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client check in about what is working and adjust methods to fit goals and preferences.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. Video can allow face-to-face discussion, while audio or shorter check-ins may suit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth situations. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical so clients can try new skills between meetings.
