About Andrea
Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and helping people build self-esteem and motivation. Andrea draws on six years of clinical experience and her own background as a combat-deployed veteran to inform her perspective.
She uses a compassionate, straightforward style that centers the client's goals. Sessions often focus on practical steps for coping with life changes, improving communication, and managing overwhelm. Andrea blends Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet people where they are.
Her military experience influences how she understands role strain, separation, and the unique pressures that come with service. That perspective can shape conversations about identity, partnership, and navigating transitions after deployment. Andrea also pays attention to caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and the practical strains that affect daily life.
When working with parents, she emphasizes realistic strategies rather than perfect solutions. Conversations can include setting boundaries, managing expectations, and finding small changes that make routines smoother. She also addresses workplace stress, money and financial issues, and feelings of isolation.
Andrea aims to create an honest and respectful space for people to talk through their priorities. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs and focuses on concrete goals and next steps. The goal is to help clients feel more capable and clear about their choices moving forward.
