About Andrew
Andrew "Drew" Follett is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are centered on clear conversation and practical steps.
Drew speaks English and uses straightforward language so families can follow along. Drew takes a guiding approach in sessions rather than handing out fixed directives.
Background and approach
He asks questions to help people see patterns and find solutions that fit their life. The work often involves talking through past hurts, noticing unhelpful behaviors, and trying small changes between meetings. His background includes about a decade of clinical experience working in community health settings and addiction and recovery centers.
That experience shapes how he balances challenge and support during hard conversations. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person's specific situation. Drew often helps people sort through family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
He also supports fathers and men facing relationship or role stress. Practical topics such as impulse control, guilt and shame, and blended family issues are addressed directly. Therapy with Drew is collaborative.
He and the client work together to set goals, try new behaviors, and track progress. He will adapt conversations and plans to match what each person needs and wants from therapy.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behavior, and emotional response. Cognitive-style approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses to anxiety and stress. These approaches are useful when worry or repetitive negative thoughts get in the way of daily life.Behavior-focused methods emphasize small, practical changes between sessions. That can mean trying graded exposure for avoidance, setting clear limits on impulsive actions, or building short daily routines to reduce cravings in addiction recovery. These steps help people test new habits and notice what works.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, while phone calls can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, progress tracking, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
