About Clatoyia
Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with five years of experience, Clatoyia Andrews supports adults and teens facing stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She uses familiar methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based work to help people manage current problems.
Clatoyia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people identify skills they already have and build new, usable strategies. Conversations often focus on coping tools, small behavior changes, and clearer thinking about difficult situations.
Her background includes individual skill-building for people with serious mental illness, group facilitation in schools, and brief psychotherapy in telephonic and emergency room settings. That range means she is used to short interventions and longer skill-focused work, depending on what a person needs.
Clatoyia emphasizes collaboration. She and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed. Expect a relaxed style with humor at times and direct focus on what works in daily life.
She earned a Master of Social Work from Norfolk State University in 2016 and holds social work licenses across several states, with primary practice listed in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward practical change and symptom management.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Clatoyia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.She also uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These exercises are simple skills that can help with stress, grief, and emotional overwhelm.
Strengths-based and Solution-Focused approaches are part of her work as well. These methods identify what already works, set small goals, and try short experiments to create change quickly.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit more easily around work, childcare, and travel. Online appointments can shorten commute time, make scheduling simpler, and allow brief check-ins that still move work forward. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote formats to keep progress practical and focused.
