About Drew
Drew Bost is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alabama. She has six years of clinical experience and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Her profile also notes work with issues like abandonment, forgiveness, communication problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, young adult issues, and guilt and shame.
In sessions she uses straightforward, person-focused conversation. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help sort thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related memories when appropriate.
She aims to shape talk and practical steps around each client's situation rather than following a rigid script. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to shame, trying short behavioral experiments, or working through painful memories with EMDR techniques. The emphasis is on concrete actions and clearer thinking.
Drew holds licenses in Alabama and Louisiana and brings six years of practice to sessions. People working through complicated guilt or lingering shame may find it helpful to talk about what happened and how it still affects daily life. She uses methods that address both feelings and the patterns that keep those feelings active.
Clients schedule through the site's matching process and arrange an initial appointment after completing a short questionnaire. Sessions and next steps are discussed directly with her when a first meeting is set.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions using this approach still center the client's concerns and help clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into workable steps, often using short exercises between sessions to test new ways of responding to guilt or anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with difficult memories; it can be adapted to a session format when the clinician and client agree it is appropriate.Finding the right approach is usually a process rather than a single decision. Drew will work collaboratively with each person to weigh which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean starting with client-centered talk, layering in CBT tools, or planning EMDR work over several meetings if it seems helpful.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice skills, process recent events, or follow up on between-session tasks in ways that fit everyday life.
