About Andrea

Andrea Manus uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and changes in self-esteem. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Tennessee with six years of experience. Andrea writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person who reaches out.

Andrea draws on client-centered methods that start with what the person brings to the room.

Background and approach

She helps people name priorities, set manageable goals, and try small steps that build confidence. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone needs help finding reasons to change and keeping momentum. Solution-focused techniques are used to spot what already works and expand those strengths.

Sessions often center on practical strategies for communication, managing stress, and coping with life changes. Parents can expect a straightforward, respectful conversation about what is working and what needs to shift. Her background includes military service and life as a military family member, which shaped her understanding of the unique demands of that lifestyle.

That experience informs how she talks about deployment, reintegration, and role changes in relationships without assuming a single path forward. Andrea aims for an honest, compassionate working relationship. She tailors her approach to the person in front of her and focuses on usable tools for day-to-day life.

People who want clear next steps and steady support often find this style helpful.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. Online sessions using this approach begin with the therapist asking about your priorities and following your lead to set goals and decide what matters most. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment; in virtual sessions this often looks like a structured conversation about values, barriers, and small next steps to try between meetings.

Solution-focused work in an online setting highlights practical tools and quick experiments. Sessions identify existing strengths and small actions you can put into practice right away, then check back on what changed. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most useful and adjust over time based on goals and preferences.r>
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.
