Andrea Manus, LCSW

Andrea Manus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and life changes.

Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience and a background as a combat-deployed veteran and military family member. That experience informs her understanding of the pressures military life can place on relationships and daily routines. She brings that perspective without assuming every situation looks the same.

In sessions she emphasizes empowerment, honest feedback, and respect. Conversations are collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals they can try between meetings.

Andrea uses an eclectic mix of approaches tailored to each person. She often works from client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help people find what works for them. The focus is on practical steps and clearer choices rather than long lectures.

Parents will find an interest in parenting concerns and the navigation of major life events like pregnancy, childbirth, divorce, and fertility challenges. She also addresses caregiver stress, workplace strain, and feelings of isolation or loss of purpose.

Sessions are provided in English. People should confirm current session options before booking and follow the platform steps to begin working with Andrea.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps build confidence and clarity. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship confusion, and parenting worries.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to uncover a person’s own reasons to try new steps. This can be useful for motivation around parenting changes, caregiving duties, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made. The process is shared and iterative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know the offered formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let someone choose a meeting style that matches their comfort with video, audio, or whatever formats the therapist provides.
