Andrea ManusLCSW

Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and navigating major life changes. Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to help people sort through what feels overwhelming.

Andrea's background includes military service and experience as a military family member, which informs her understanding of the demands service life can create. That perspective contributes to her work with veterans and service members on relationship and adjustment concerns. She also spends a lot of time supporting parents who are unsure how to handle changing roles and expectations.

Her approach emphasizes empowerment, respect, and straightforward conversation. Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and Motivational Interviewing to help people find the reasons and drive to make changes. She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that move things forward.

Andrea aims to tailor sessions to the person in front of her instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. People can expect a mix of listening, goal setting, and concrete strategies to try between sessions. The tone is compassionate and honest, with attention to real-world constraints like work, family, and military commitments.

If pregnancy or childbirth is part of someone's situation, she includes those concerns alongside fertility, women's health topics, and parenting stress when relevant. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online sessions

Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to center each conversation on the person's own goals and concerns, listening carefully and following the client's lead to decide what matters most. Motivational Interviewing is offered as a way to uncover personal motivations and resolve mixed feelings about change, which helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, concrete changes and practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process is flexible and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time around work or family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings without promising a particular format.
