Leigh-Anne Husted, LCSW

Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports clients coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. Leigh-Anne brings an approachable, practical style to sessions and focuses on real steps people can take between meetings.

She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and holds the LCSW credential. Over 11 years she has worked with at-risk youth and young adults in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and with people experiencing homelessness. That background informs how she talks through safety, coping, and practical next steps.

Leigh-Anne uses a mix of methods in session. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when clients need tools to regulate intense emotions.

In a typical meeting she listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use right away and on small changes that add up. She guides clients toward greater self-compassion and clearer communication with others.

Leigh-Anne practices in Florida and conducts work in English. People who want to begin are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in how they connect and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want clear steps to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, current struggles, and what has helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust as you go, so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from quieter surroundings or choose a format that needs less bandwidth or no camera. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to match approach and format to what will be most helpful for you.
