Andrea Manus, LCSW

Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on practical, person-centered work for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience and her background as a combat-deployed veteran and military family member to relate to service and civilian life concerns.

Her sessions emphasize listening first and then building on what each person already knows about themselves. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a supportive space. Motivational Interviewing helps people find the drive to change, while Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, achievable steps toward goals.

Andrea often helps people manage life changes, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, communication problems, and workplace pressure. She also addresses fertility, pregnancy and childbirth topics, divorce and separation, money stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her experience includes work related to veteran and armed forces issues.

In the room she aims for clear feedback, respect, and practical tools that fit day-to-day life. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented, so people leave with concrete next steps. Andrea encourages anyone curious about therapy to try an initial session to see how the approach feels.

She offers services in English and sees clients in Tennessee. To begin, a client follows the platform’s Start Therapy flow and completes the short matching questionnaire to schedule with her.

How these therapy approaches work in online care

Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead, offering reflective listening and empathy so clients can clarify what matters most to them. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns where feeling heard is a first step.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to discover a client’s own reasons for change. It focuses on building motivation and small commitments, which can help with parenting goals, behavior shifts, and navigating life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical, short-term steps. Sessions concentrate on specific, achievable changes and on what has worked before, making it useful for managing workplace issues, communication problems, and caregiving stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences, and priorities with each person and then tailor sessions together. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needed.

Session logistics and formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility around work and family commitments.
