About BenTia

BenTia Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with ten years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, motivation, relationship concerns, and depression. BenTia talks plainly about problems and looks for practical ways to move forward.

Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and past successes, then helps people build on those resources to address current challenges. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small, doable steps toward relief.

She also addresses issues connected to attachment and abandonment, patterns such as avoidant or dependent tendencies, and communication problems that affect relationships. BenTia works with concerns tied to guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation. She can discuss substance use and domestic violence from a practical standpoint.

Sessions include straightforward problem-solving, exploring relationship patterns, and developing coping strategies for mood and anxiety symptoms. BenTia pays attention to cultural and multicultural factors that shape stress and behavior.

Clients can expect a direct, respectful style that focuses on goals and on useful tools. The emphasis is on building skills and recognizing strengths so people can manage emotional challenges in everyday life.

BHow sessions work

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

BenTia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is working on thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. This involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them against real-life evidence, and practicing different behaviors to change how someone feels.

She also focuses on attachment-informed work that looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions. That work helps people recognize repeated patterns, improve communication habits, and make different choices in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also offers more flexibility for people who live far from Mississippi or who travel often. Licensed professionals adapt techniques so practical tools can be used between sessions and in everyday settings.
