Background and approach

This range informs a pragmatic approach to everyday problems. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based methods help people spot what is already working and build on those successes. In sessions she aims to meet people where they are and adapt the plan to fit practical needs. Her goal is to highlight strengths and help clients use them to manage challenges.

She emphasizes straightforward conversation and concrete steps, not jargon or lectures. Andrews holds a Master of Social Work from Norfolk State University and maintains professional credentials as MD, LCSW-C, and LCSW. She practices from North Carolina and provides services in English.

Her approach is collaborative and aimed at helping people make manageable changes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Therapy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions to create small, practical changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness techniques are also offered to help people stay grounded and reduce stress through present-moment awareness.

The right method often emerges through collaboration. The therapist will work together with each person to choose and adjust approaches based on their goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. That process is flexible and revisited over time to find the best fit.

Online work is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to join sessions from home, during breaks, or when travel is difficult. The variety of formats also lets people pick shorter check-ins or longer discussions depending on what they need.
