About Leigh-Anne
Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and codependency. She brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on small, useful changes that can ease day-to-day life.
Leigh-Anne earned a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and holds LCSW credentials. She has 11 years of clinical experience working with at-risk youth and young adults, and with people in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy programs, and outreach for those experiencing homelessness.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions often start by identifying what feels most urgent, then setting simple goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful, and draws on attachment-based ideas to make sense of relationship patterns.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques are used to build coping skills and increase motivation for change. Leigh-Anne adapts methods to fit each person’s pace and life demands rather than applying a single approach to everyone.
People who meet with her can expect clear explanations, practical homework when appropriate, and focus on skill-building for everyday challenges. She aims to help clients notice small gains and build toward steadier routines and healthier relationships over time.
How her approaches shape online therapeutic work
Leigh-Anne uses several approaches to guide sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand why they react in certain ways with others. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and values, giving space for their perspective to lead the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different ways of responding. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide what methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and everyday life. That means trying things and checking in to see what helps most, adjusting approaches over time. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between commitments. Some methods translate well to remote work, such as CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and skill practice, and these can be adapted to a person’s routine to support steady progress.Areas of expertise
