About Andrew
Andrew "Drew" Follett is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. His style is direct and conversational, aimed at helping someone untangle what feels overwhelming and find clearer choices.
Drew frames sessions as guided conversations rather than prescriptions. He asks questions that help people see patterns and decide what to try next.
Background and approach
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude while tailoring the work to each person's needs. With ten years of clinical experience, Drew has worked in community health clinics, advocacy centers, nonprofit counseling settings, and addiction and recovery programs. That background has exposed him to a wide range of concerns, including trauma, abuse, neglect, and substance use struggles.
He commonly helps people with problems tied to family of origin, communication, control, abandonment, attachment, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He also supports those dealing with impulsivity, guilt and shame, fatherhood challenges, and men's issues. Drew aims to guide clients toward practical steps they can try between sessions.
The goal is clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning. He works with each person to adjust the pace and focus as progress unfolds.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Many of the techniques Drew uses are evidence-based and adapt well to remote formats. Brief, focused interventions help people who are dealing with anger and stress by teaching skills to notice triggers and try different responses. These methods emphasize practical exercises and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions.Another common approach centers on trauma-informed care. This involves pacing conversations to avoid overwhelm, helping people make sense of past events, and building skills for managing strong emotions. That kind of work can proceed effectively over video or phone when the pace and check-ins are clear.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Drew works with each person to identify goals and preferences, and then picks methods that fit those needs. He adjusts techniques and the session rhythm based on what the client finds helpful as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send quick updates, try short exercises, or check in between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
