    About Drew

    Drew Bost is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults who struggle with panic, social anxiety, relationship communication, and issues that often come up in young adulthood. Drew emphasizes a respectful and compassionate approach to care.

    She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when practical tools and thought patterns can make daily life easier.

    Drew has six years of professional experience and holds LICSW and LCSW credentials for Alabama and Louisiana. She draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, when trauma symptoms are a key concern. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

    In sessions, she aims to listen closely, reflect what she hears, and help clients set small, doable goals. She describes the work as collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Drew also addresses related issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and abandonment in straightforward terms.

    Taking the first step can feel hard. Drew offers steady support as people decide what matters most to them and try new ways of coping and communicating.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and clarify personal goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and experience, emphasizing empathy and acceptance to help people feel heard and understood.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often includes simple skill practice, like spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to see what helps in daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

    The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different approaches lend themselves to different activities - for example, CBT often uses brief exercises between sessions, while Motivational Interviewing can guide goal-setting conversations that move at the client’s pace.
