About Leigh
Leigh Ann Drew is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking. Sessions are conversational and practical. Leigh helps clients sort priorities and build small, doable steps forward.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds show up now. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Leigh has supported people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, life changes, and identity questions such as self-esteem and self-love. She also offers help around adoption and foster care concerns and attachment issues when those topics matter to a person’s life.
She emphasizes practical tools like mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing to clarify change, and short-term solution-focused planning when that fits. The tone in her sessions tends to be collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at creating usable strategies rather than abstract discussion.
How her approaches guide online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand why they react to close relationships the way they do and supports building more secure ways of relating.Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person name what matters, then follows their lead in choosing next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
For practical online arrangements, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and homework tools between sessions to reinforce what was discussed.
