About Drew
Drew Bost is a licensed clinical social worker - LICSW in Alabama and LCSW in Louisiana with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on issues like abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and young adult concerns.
Drew uses straightforward conversation to help clients clarify what matters most to them. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, and she brings in practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change patterns that cause distress. She also uses EMDR when trauma processing is needed and has familiarity with motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Sessions are meant to be practical and focused on everyday life. People can expect clear goals, concrete coping strategies, and collaborative planning for next steps. Drew aims to make sessions useful for handling work stress, relationship strain, and day-to-day mood challenges.
Her background includes six years working in clinical settings across Alabama and Louisiana. That experience informs how she combines talk therapy with evidence-informed techniques. Drew emphasizes respectful, sensitive interactions and adapts approaches to the person in front of her.
To begin, she asks about the immediate problem, what has worked before, and what the person wants to change. From there she and the client build a plan with measurable steps and regular check-ins to track progress.
BHow sessions work
How Drew uses approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s priorities. In practice this means Drew listens first, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set realistic goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression with homework and short-term exercises. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it can be used when trauma symptoms are a main concern.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Drew will talk with each person about goals, past attempts at treatment, and what feels most manageable. Together they decide whether to focus on skill-building, trauma processing, or a mix of methods, and they adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone use less bandwidth by choosing audio over video or schedule sessions that fit around work and family commitments. These practical benefits help make therapy more usable in everyday life.
