Clatoyia Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker and medical doctor with five years of professional experience offering support for stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, relationship and family challenges, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on clinical training and hands-on work across multiple settings to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills for daily life. Her background includes individual skill building for people with serious mental illness, group facilitation in school environments, and brief psychotherapy delivered in telephonic and emergency room contexts.

Andrews emphasizes a strengths-based perspective, helping clients recognize and use their existing resources to navigate current difficulties. Her manner is described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a relaxed style and a sense of humor that many find approachable.

She typically uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and strengths-based methods, adapting her approach to each person’s needs. Based in North Carolina, Andrews works in English and brings a practical, flexible approach to collaboration so clients can set goals and move forward at a manageable pace.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Flexible Online Care

Clatoyia Andrews commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and stress reduction, which can be helpful for managing overwhelm and improving focus. Solution-focused and strengths-based interventions are used to highlight existing resources and set achievable goals for change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrews works with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy feels productive and aligned with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with her is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering scheduling flexibility for people with busy lives. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations without needing to travel.
