Clatoyia Andrews

Clatoyia Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma, and the strain of life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She practices in North Carolina and speaks English.

Her approach is down-to-earth and relaxed. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that feel doable. She emphasizes identifying strengths and using them to move past obstacles. Many people find her supportive and compassionate, and she brings a light touch of humor when it helps.

Her background includes five years of direct mental and behavioral health work across multiple settings. That work has included individual skill building for people with serious mental illness, running groups in schools, and brief psychotherapy in emergency room and telephonic environments. She aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and goals.

Clatoyia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She also uses mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and solution-focused methods to set concrete goals. Strengths-based work helps people notice and use personal resources during hard times.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Norfolk State University in 2016. As a clinician she is licensed in multiple states, including a clinical social work license in Maryland. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation about next steps and a focus on practical coping skills.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Clatoyia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and adjust the thoughts and behaviors that feed stress and anxiety. CBT sessions typically involve identifying patterns, trying small experiments between sessions, and tracking changes over time to reduce symptoms.

She also uses mindfulness practices to build awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions. These simple attention exercises can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by grounding a person in the present moment. Solution-focused techniques are another element she brings in, helping people set short-term goals and try concrete steps that move them toward what matters most.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. If something doesn't feel helpful, she adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when helpful, and letting conversations happen from many locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and goal-setting to work well in virtual sessions so progress continues between meetings.
