About Andrea
Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and navigate relationship and parenting challenges. Andrea brings six years of clinical experience to her sessions and draws on a practical, down-to-earth style.
Andrea uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work to help people make changes that matter. She listens first, then helps clients set small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, strengthening communication, and building confidence for daily life. Her background includes military service and life as a military family member, which informs how she understands role changes, relocations, and the strains that come with service life. Andrea applies that experience when helping people cope with transitions, caregiver stress, and isolation.
She works with people facing fertility and pregnancy concerns, divorce and separation, workplace stress, money and financial worries, and questions about life purpose. Attachment issues and communication problems are common topics in her work, and she supports clients through the practical tasks those concerns create. Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions around each person’s needs.
Her style emphasizes respect, honesty, and collaboration so clients leave with tangible next steps they can try between visits.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions to anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal reasons to make changes; it is useful when motivation feels low or when someone struggles to move from thinking about change to taking action. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and practical, zeroing in on small, achievable steps that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each client to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, adjust plans, and pick what feels most helpful rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets you meet face-to-face for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
