About Drew
Drew Bost is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with individuals coping with trauma and abuse and supports people dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks. Drew uses a direct, respectful style and aims to create a calm, steady space for hard conversations.
She practices in Alabama and holds the credentials LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). Drew approaches therapy as a collaboration, shaping sessions around each person’s goals and life circumstances. She emphasizes listening first, then building simple steps toward change.
Her methods include client-centered talking, cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. She also draws on motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change and the Gottman Method for relationship communication work when appropriate.
Over six years of clinical work informs Drew’s practical focus. Sessions often cover skill building for managing panic and anxiety, tools for handling grief, and strategies to rebuild confidence after loss or hurt. She keeps language clear and actions concrete so people can try techniques between sessions.
People who want straightforward guidance and a respectful listener may find her approach helpful. The first meeting is used to understand immediate concerns and to choose an approach that fits the person’s needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s lead to set goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, steady partner to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical steps to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or panic going. Sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to try between meetings, so progress continues outside of session time.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories that still cause strong reactions. It typically involves focused attention and structured protocols to reduce distress tied to past events and can be combined with other strategies to manage symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and comfort. That means adjustments are expected as trust and clarity grow.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss which set-up best supports your goals.
