About Andrea
Andrea Manus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and building self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people who want practical, real-world help.
Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience to guide short- and longer-term work. She listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities and to build trust. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to start making changes. Solution-focused techniques help identify immediate steps and strengths to move forward.
Andrea pays attention to how relationships, parenting roles, and life transitions affect stress and confidence. She also addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Practical strategies are paired with conversations about values and priorities.
People who come for help with divorce and separation, fertility or pregnancy concerns, workplace strain, or money worries find focused plans and concrete next steps. Andrea aims to make therapy understandable and usable between sessions. Her approach emphasizes respect, honesty, and collaboration.
New clients can expect clear goal-setting, regular check-ins on progress, and tools they can use outside the session to handle setbacks and build on gains.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters most, and helps you clarify goals. This approach is useful when you need someone who listens and tailors sessions to your real-life concerns.Motivational interviewing helps when motivation is low or change feels overwhelming. It uses questions and reflection to build momentum and to uncover reasons for wanting change. This method can be helpful for people facing parenting challenges, life transitions, or stuck patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Andrea treats it as a team effort. She will talk with you about your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what works. Clients are involved in choosing and shaping the work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues for relationship and parenting conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit around work, childcare, and other routines.
