About Andrew

Andrew "Drew" Follett is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-MHSP, practicing in Tennessee. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. Drew uses conversation and guided questions to help people notice what’s getting in the way and find clearer steps forward.

Drew describes his role as a guide rather than an advisor who hands out answers. Sessions are conversational and exploratory, with questions that help people see patterns, identify problems, and choose changes that fit their life. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.

His background includes work in community health clinics, children’s advocacy centers, non-profit counseling centers, and addiction and recovery centers. That experience brought him into contact with many people facing trauma, abuse, neglect, and a range of mood and behavior concerns. He has supported people through relationship and parenting strains, career transitions, and recovery from substance use.

Over the past decade Drew has built an approach that centers the person in front of him. He customizes the conversation and any treatment plan to match each person’s circumstances and goals. He pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication struggles, and common themes like guilt, shame, and isolation.

People who choose Drew can expect a calm, respectful presence and practical, question-based sessions that emphasize insight and small, doable changes.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques tend to focus on clear, practical steps and understanding patterns of thought and behavior. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress; it is useful for panic, worry, and mood concerns. Another approach focuses on processing difficult events and building skills to manage strong emotions after trauma or abuse, helping people feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and help decide which techniques to try first. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend regular check-ins. Online work can also allow for shorter coaching-style meetings when needed, or longer sessions for deeper issues, depending on what is offered. Licensed professionals use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than disrupt it.
