BenTia AndrewsLCSW

BenTia Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience practicing in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. BenTia talks with clients in a direct, respectful way and emphasizes the client's own strengths as the foundation for change.

She believes people are the experts on their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative effort. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can use right away, such as clearer communication, changes in daily routines, and ways to reduce overwhelm. BenTia encourages small experiments between sessions to build confidence and momentum.

Her background includes work with mood disorders and issues that often come up around relationships, including attachment and abandonment concerns. She also addresses substance use, anger and impulsivity, and cultural or multicultural concerns. The aim is to help people understand patterns and try different ways of responding.

BenTia places importance on straightforward conversation and gentle accountability. She helps clients identify values, set realistic goals, and notice progress. People who prefer a practical, strengths-oriented approach often find this style useful.

To begin, she asks that prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there scheduling is arranged according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on practical problem solving and strengthening daily routines. One common approach helps people break down overwhelming problems into small, doable steps and then tests those changes between sessions to build confidence. This kind of work is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and mood concerns.

Another approach concentrates on patterns in relationships and attachment. It helps clients identify how past experiences shape present reactions and practices new ways of communicating and connecting. This is often helpful for relationship stress, feelings of abandonment, or recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what to try first, adjust methods based on progress, and balance short-term coping with longer-term goals. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best with needs and preferences.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about current session options when you sign up so you know what will work best for your routine.
