Leigh-Anne Husted, LCSW

Leigh-Anne Husted is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, self-esteem, career changes, and LGBTQ-related issues. She also addresses compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

Leigh-Anne trained at Florida State University with a Master’s degree in Social Work. Her early career focused on at-risk youth and young adults. She has worked in schools, residential care, wilderness therapy programs, and with people experiencing homelessness. That range shaped a practical approach to everyday problems.

Sessions tend to focus on clear skills and steady problem-solving. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect current struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques appear when managing intense emotions is needed.

She works in a client-centered way, listening to each person’s priorities and working at a realistic pace. Leigh-Anne draws on methods that fit the situation rather than sticking to one textbook. Conversations often include concrete steps people can try between meetings.

Leigh-Anne commonly helps people handle life transitions, rebuild after loss, and manage stress from work or caregiving. She also focuses on practical communication strategies for relationship problems and on healing issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
