About Leigh-Anne

Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience supporting people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also focuses on concerns such as attachment and abandonment, parenting and caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Her background includes work in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and outreach with people experiencing homelessness, which informs a practical, adaptable approach to clinical work.

Husted blends evidence-informed practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with attachment-based and client-centered methods, and draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help clients build coping skills and emotional regulation. She emphasizes collaboration and uses techniques suited to each person’s goals and circumstances, offering strategies to address day-to-day challenges as well as deeper relational patterns.

Based in Florida, she brings experience across community and clinical settings to create tailored care that aligns with each client’s needs.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational experiences and current attachment patterns to improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist supports the client’s own goals and self-discovery.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Leigh-Anne collaborates with clients to choose methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as trust and insight develop. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to each person’s situation rather than applying a single fixed method.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work on skills, coping strategies, and relationship patterns from home or other convenient locations while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
