About Drew

Drew Bost is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings a calm presence and practical focus to early conversations so concerns feel clearer and manageable. She works from a respectful, compassionate stance and adapts discussions to each person’s needs.

Sessions are driven by the client’s priorities while also introducing skills to reduce panic, soothe social anxiety, and manage depressive symptoms.

Background and approach

Drew uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. She draws on client-centered methods to center what matters to the person. She adds elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses.

She also uses EMDR, an approach that some people find useful for processing traumatic memories. Her background includes six years of clinical practice and licensure as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That experience has included work with people coping with abandonment, communication struggles, guilt and shame, and the emotional fallout of loss.

In sessions Drew focuses on realistic steps and clear language. She helps people build confidence, reduce panic attacks, and improve communication skills. The aim is steady progress toward better daily coping and stronger emotional balance.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist prioritizes what the client brings to the session and uses questions and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel heard. This approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses simple exercises and brief homework to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood by changing patterns that keep problems going.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used here as a way to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is presented as one option and introduced when it fits the client's needs and readiness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, skill-building, or trauma processing and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see body language and work more directly on emotions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, writing through thoughts, or fitting support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to match the format to the moment.
