Andrew "Drew" Follett, LPC-MHSP

Andrew "Drew" Follett is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-MHSP, based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He approaches sessions as a guide rather than an instructor. Drew asks questions and listens to help people see patterns and find workable steps forward.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the client and breaking problems into small, manageable parts. Drew avoids labels and aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity.

Drew has around 10 years of experience in clinical practice and has worked in community health clinics, children’s advocacy centers, non-profit counseling centers, and addiction and recovery centers. That background means he has seen a wide range of challenges, including depression, relationship strain, parenting difficulties, OCD, ADHD, addiction and trauma.

In sessions he helps people talk through family of origin issues, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with impulsivity or isolation. He also addresses concerns related to fatherhood, men’s issues, and forgiveness work when those come up.

His style emphasizes gentle questioning to help clients uncover what gets in the way of change. Treatment plans are adapted to each person’s situation and goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic methods and how they work online

Many clinicians who use evidence-based therapeutic techniques help people by focusing on specific skills and patterns. One common approach involves helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations to reduce anxiety and stress. This method teaches tools for calmer thinking and coping in everyday moments.

Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences related to trauma and abuse. That work aims to help people name what happened, understand how it affects current behavior, and build steps toward feeling safer and more in control. Both approaches are practical and goal oriented, and can be adjusted to each person’s pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommend techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't possible. It can also help people keep consistent momentum between appointments by making sessions simpler to schedule.
