About Clatoyia
Clatoyia Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland and an LCSW licensed in North Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. She has five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Andrews draws on direct work across settings. She has provided individual skill-building for people with serious mental illness and led groups in school settings. She has also offered brief psychotherapy through telephonic and emergency room services.
Her approach includes practical techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused methods, and strengths-based work. Sessions are generally relaxed and conversational. She looks for existing strengths and builds small, achievable steps to address challenges.
In session she helps people sort through what feels difficult now and reduces overwhelming problems into manageable tasks. She uses short skill practices, reframing of unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness tools to reduce immediate distress. She also helps with practical problem solving for relationships and life changes.
Andrews completed a Master of Social Work at Norfolk State University in 2016. As an LCSW and LCSW-C she blends clinical skills with practical supports so people can apply what they learn to daily life.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many of the approaches she uses are action-oriented and work well when adapted for remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; clients learn short exercises to change thinking patterns and practice them between sessions. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and stress when used regularly. Solution-focused methods concentrate on concrete goals and small steps that can be monitored week to week.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills practice, problem solving, or mindfulness work as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose remote care because it can fit into a workday, remove travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Online sessions also make it easier to practice techniques between meetings and to bring real-life examples directly into conversation.
