About Clatoyia

Clatoyia Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in North Carolina. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family worries, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to be approachable and practical for people juggling busy lives.

She uses everyday conversation to identify strengths and steps forward. Sessions focus on simple skills and small changes that add up over time.

Background and approach

She keeps a laid-back style and tries to make each session feel supportive and straightforward. Her background includes work across different settings. She has delivered individual skill building for people with serious mental illness and led groups in school settings.

She has also provided brief psychotherapy interventions in phone and emergency room contexts. Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based work. Those methods are used to teach coping skills, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build on what already works for the person.

She aims to tailor the approach to each person's needs rather than following a single script. Clatoyia holds a Master of Social Work from Norfolk State University and brings five years of clinical experience. She offers sessions in English and works with people in North Carolina who want practical strategies and steady support.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Clatoyia lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Clatoyia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day coping. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people notice their experience without getting swept up in it; mindfulness can reduce stress and improve attention and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over time she adjusts techniques so sessions stay useful and relevant to the client's situation.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and reading visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly during the day, and text messaging supports brief updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay consistent with treatment.
