About Drew

Drew Bost helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama and Louisiana with six years of experience. Her approach aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming and more manageable for someone worried about seeking support.

She uses clear, practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build toward better day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach

Drew tailors discussions and plans to fit each person's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Drew blends structured tools with a listening stance. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate.

Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports change and momentum. Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims to make goals feel realistic and reachable.

People often leave a session with a simple plan to try between meetings. In addition to the core concerns, Drew addresses issues like abandonment, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and challenges faced by young adults. Her practice focuses on building coping skills and restoring a sense of control and confidence.

Online support

How Drew’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives space for a person to set priorities while the therapist reflects and helps clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into simple parts and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, supports processing traumatic memories through guided procedures that can reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Drew will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches a person’s needs and preferences rather than relying on one fixed method.

Online sessions make those methods accessible in several convenient formats. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues and work closely on exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options provide flexibility so therapeutic tools can fit into busy schedules and different daily routines.
