About Andrea
Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with six years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and parenting concerns, and build self-esteem and motivation.
Andrea draws on her own background as a combat-deployed veteran and a military family member to inform her work. That experience shapes how she listens to issues tied to military life, transitions, and the strain those roles can place on relationships and daily routines. She also often supports people facing fertility, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and workplace or money-related stress.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods rather than long theory talks. Conversations focus on specific goals, steps that can be tried between meetings, and what feels most doable for each person. She uses client-centered techniques and solution-focused strategies to help people identify small changes that make a difference.
Andrea also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons and strategies to try new behaviors. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. She helps clients set realistic goals and notices what gets in the way of follow-through.
People can expect straightforward conversation about parenting challenges, communication problems, control issues, and coping with life changes. Andrea works with concerns that include attachment issues, caregiver stress, isolation, divorce and separation, veteran and armed forces issues, and women’s health related matters.
