About Leigh-Anne

Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and career or life-change challenges. Her work also includes focus areas like attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and has spent her career working with at-risk youth and young adults. That background includes roles in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and outreach with people experiencing homelessness. Those settings shaped a practical, hands-on approach to problem solving.

In sessions she draws on mindfulness and client-centered methods to help people notice patterns and make small, useful changes. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas are used when helpful to teach coping skills and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns that affect self-worth and communication.

Leigh-Anne keeps things collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set attainable goals and try techniques between sessions. Her style is direct but empathetic, focused on real-life steps rather than abstract theory.

She practices in Florida as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. The site subscription can be canceled at any time.

How mindfulness and attachment work in online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body signals without judgment and practice simple breathing and grounding exercises. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing difficult emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and self-worth. This approach can help people understand why they repeat relational patterns and learn new ways to connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will test techniques to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person’s life.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the available options are shown when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into session for immediate discussion.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
