Andrea Manus, LCSW

Andrea Manus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, motivation, and self-esteem. She draws on her lived experience as a combat-deployed veteran and a military family member to understand the unique pressures of military life and to support service members, veterans, and their families in addressing emotional wounds that affect individuals, couples, and whole families.

Andrea brings a compassionate, honest, and respectful approach to therapy and emphasizes empowerment in her work. She uses an eclectic mix of research-informed methods, including client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, tailoring interventions to fit each person she sees. Her practice also includes focused work on attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control issues, divorce and separation, fertility and pregnancy challenges, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, financial stress, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties.

Andrea particularly enjoys supporting parents through the unpredictable journey of raising children, helping them build confidence and stronger family relationships. She aims to help people develop practical coping strategies and clearer communication so they can become more effective partners, parents, and family members, drawing on both professional training and personal experience in military life to inform her clinical perspective.
