About BenTia
BenTia Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem worries, and depression. BenTia also supports people dealing with motivation challenges and confidence issues. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
BenTia frames clients as the expert on their own story. She looks for existing strengths to build on rather than starting from scratch. In sessions she talks through immediate problems and practical steps that can reduce tension and improve daily functioning.
Her approach is direct and conversational. She helps people notice patterns such as difficulty with communication, control issues, impulsivity, or isolation. That makes it easier to try small changes that reduce arguments, lower stress, or restore steadier moods.
She also addresses deeper themes when they come up, such as attachment wounds, abandonment, guilt, shame, and issues tied to substance use or domestic violence history. Work may include looking at how past relationships shape current expectations and responses.
BenTia expects the process to be collaborative. Early meetings focus on what matters most to the client and on simple tools to manage anger spikes or anxiety. Later sessions can widen to examine patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen communication.
How BenTia uses evidence-based approaches online
BenTia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving everyday functioning. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them in real life to lower anxiety and irritability. This helps when worry or hot reactions make problems feel bigger than they are.Another practical approach teaches short behavioral strategies for anger and mood regulation, such as paced breathing, time-limited behavioral experiments, and stepwise changes to communication habits. These tactics are useful for handling spikes of anger, reducing impulsive responses, and improving interactions at work or home.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. BenTia will collaborate with each person to select approaches that match their goals, preferences, and daily routine. She helps people try techniques, check what works, and adjust the plan over time.
If you prefer to meet online, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since the biography did not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so people can use break periods more effectively.
