About Andrea
Andrea Manus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, motivation, and self-esteem. Andrea blends practical conversation with down-to-earth guidance so people can make meaningful changes in daily life.
Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience and her background as a combat-deployed veteran and military family member. That perspective shapes how she listens to experiences of life under pressure and the demands that come with service and military connections. She uses that lived experience to relate to people who face similar stresses without assuming a single path forward.
Her approach centers on meeting people where they are. Andrea favors client-centered work that follows each person’s values and goals. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and to find their own reasons to change.
Solution-focused techniques are part of her toolbox, too, when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals. Andrea mixes these approaches to create sessions that are practical and grounded in the person’s real life. She emphasizes respect, honesty, and empowerment in every meeting.
Andrea commonly addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, fertility and pregnancy topics, isolation and loneliness, money and workplace stress, life purpose, and many issues facing women and veterans. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her goal of helping people build stronger relationships with themselves and others.

How Andrea’s Approaches Inform Online Work
Andrea uses Motivational Interviewing to help people discover what matters to them and to increase readiness for change; this approach is helpful for issues like motivation, substance questions, and making life adjustments. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around the person’s own values and pace, which supports sensitive topics like relationship struggles, parenting stress, and self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy adds short-term, practical steps so clients can try small experiments between meetings and track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels useful and realistic.
