About Leigh-Anne

Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and challenges related to identity and addiction. She has 11 years of experience supporting people through life changes, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment. Leigh-Anne draws on Narrative ideas to help people tell their stories in new ways.

She listens for patterns that keep problems in place and works with clients to identify moments that point toward change.

Background and approach

Her approach is conversational and practical, aimed at small, manageable shifts rather than big, sudden fixes. Her background includes work with at-risk youth and young adults in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and outreach to people experiencing homelessness. Those settings shaped her focus on real-world skills and creative problem solving when life gets hard.

Leigh-Anne blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also incorporates attachment-based thinking to address relationship patterns and caregiver stress. Sessions tend to be straightforward and down-to-earth.

Clients can expect to talk about current struggles, try practical coping steps, and reflect on how their personal story affects day-to-day choices. Leigh-Anne practices in Florida as an LCSW and works in English.

How narrative and skills-based work fits online

Leigh-Anne combines Narrative approaches with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people reframe painful stories and improve relationships. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves, helping to separate the problem from the person and to notice exceptions to old patterns. Attachment-based methods look at how past care and connection shape current relationship choices and caregiver stress, helping clients understand patterns that repeat. Client-centered work means sessions are led by the client's priorities, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support as people decide what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Leigh-Anne collaborates with each client to find methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting techniques if something doesn't fit. The aim is a practical plan that feels doable and relevant to everyday life.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is helpful. Phone calls can be used for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options help people access therapy across different routines and locations.
