Leigh-Anne Husted, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Leigh-Anne

Leigh-Anne Husted is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, and related difficulties. She uses straightforward support to help people manage worry, cope with life changes, and address relationship or parenting challenges. Leigh-Anne draws on practical skills and steady presence during sessions so parents and caregivers can find clearer next steps.

She trained at Florida State University where she earned a Master’s degree in Social Work.

Background and approach

Over an 11-year career she has worked in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and with people experiencing homelessness. That range of settings shaped how she adapts tools to different life situations. Leigh-Anne blends several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs.

She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening guide how she builds trust and strength in relationships. Sessions tend to focus on concrete strategies and skill practice.

She helps people set small goals, try new communication methods, and plan how to manage stress between appointments. Her style is direct, warm, and practical. Work with her is offered from Florida and conducted in English.

Leigh-Anne brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, codependency, grief, and compassion fatigue. She aims to help clients feel more capable and clearer about the next steps they want to take.

Approaches for online family and parenting support

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns around closeness and safety in relationships. It focuses on how early bonds affect current parenting and relationship responses and can guide practical changes in connection and trust.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment and supports clients as they find their own solutions, which is useful for parents who need space to make decisions that fit their family.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear strategies and exercises. It often includes homework and step-by-step practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leigh-Anne will collaborate with clients to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, continue work during life transitions, and practice skills in real time between appointments.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
