Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, LGBT concerns, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Leigh-Anne draws on 11 years of experience to offer steady, practical help when life feels overwhelming.

She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and holds LCSW credentials. Her career has focused on at-risk youth and young adults, and she has worked in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and with people experiencing homelessness. That range shaped a flexible, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

Sessions tend to focus on what feels most urgent. Leigh-Anne listens, helps people name patterns, and teaches skills for managing emotions and relationships. She uses methods from attachment work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to build day-to-day coping tools.

Leigh-Anne also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches when those fit a person’s needs. She aims to help clients feel understood while developing clearer communication and healthier boundaries. The work is collaborative and practical.

People who come to her often want support adjusting to big life transitions, recovering from loss, or finding more balance between caregiving and personal needs. Her background with diverse settings informs how she tailors strategies to real-life situations.

How Leigh-Anne Brings Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape how people relate now. It helps when relationship worry, abandonment fears, or attachment issues make daily life harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and build steadier emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh-Anne will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She works collaboratively, adjusting techniques if something isn’t helpful so clients can see what feels most useful in their daily lives.
