About Andrea
Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a practical, client-centered approach. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Andrea aims to help people find clear steps forward and build everyday skills that fit their lives.
Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience and a background that includes military service and family life. That experience informs her understanding of challenges like frequent moves, separation, or juggling many roles.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors conversations to their priorities. In sessions Andrea uses straightforward, solution-focused methods alongside motivational interviewing. She helps people set small, achievable goals and figure out the next practical step.
Many clients work on communication, rebuilding trust, parenting choices, or managing stress and anxiety. Andrea also supports people navigating life transitions such as divorce, fertility concerns, pregnancy and childbirth, or changes at work. She addresses related strains like money worries, isolation, control issues, and attachment questions.
Her style is compassionate and direct, with an emphasis on respect and collaboration. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Tennessee. Andrea offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with the appropriate scheduling options.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person's needs. Andrea creates space for people to speak about what matters most and helps them identify their own solutions. This approach fits concerns like self-esteem, relationship tensions, or parenting questions.Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change and build momentum. It is useful for goals such as improving communication, increasing motivation after life changes, or making decisions about fertility, work, or relationships. Andrea uses questions and reflections to clarify values and next steps.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Andrea discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term solutions, deeper exploration, or a mix of both based on what the person wants to accomplish.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging suit quick updates or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, parenting schedules, or when travel is involved.
