BenTia Andrews, LCSW

BenTia Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, substance and alcohol problems, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.

BenTia frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she works collaboratively and focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between meetings. She speaks plainly and aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Her background includes a decade of work supporting people through mood and behavioral concerns. That experience means she has worked with a range of issues from communication and control problems to guilt, shame, and the impact of past domestic violence. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the conversation and interventions.

When someone brings anger into the room she helps them notice patterns that lead to snapping or bottling feelings up. She will talk through triggers, typical reactions, and small changes that reduce escalation. This is about practice and steady adjustments rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect sessions that name concrete goals and test what works in day-to-day life. BenTia encourages straightforward check-ins on progress and adapts the pace to what a person can manage. She accepts clients who speak English and does work with international clients as noted.
