BenTia Andrews, LCSW

BenTia Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Mississippi with 10 years of professional experience supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build confidence, improve motivation, and develop practical coping strategies tailored to their unique situations.

BenTia approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to amplify existing strengths while offering guidance through difficult moments. She has particular experience addressing relationship and communication concerns as well as emotional regulation and mood-related struggles, helping clients identify patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and BenTia acknowledges that first step with respect and encouragement. She works collaboratively with clients to set achievable goals and to create a path toward greater resilience and well-being, meeting clients where they are and helping them move forward at a pace that feels right.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

BenTia Andrews uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building everyday coping skills. One approach emphasizes cognitive skills - helping clients notice and reframe thoughts that fuel stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem, and then practicing alternative ways of thinking to reduce distress and improve motivation.

She also uses interpersonal-focused techniques to address relationship concerns, attachment challenges, and communication problems. These methods explore patterns in relationships, increase emotional awareness, and teach clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries, which can help with conflict, loneliness, and connection issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together - BenTia collaborates with each client to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and acceptable to the client. This shared process helps tailor therapy to individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how sessions happen - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage transportation constraints, or access care from different locations. These options can help people stay consistent with treatment while adapting to their daily lives.
