Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Andrew "Drew" Follett draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and careful exploration of personal patterns. One core emphasis is skills-based work to manage anxiety and stress - teaching concrete coping strategies, relaxation and problem-solving tools that help reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another strand of his approach is supportive, trauma-informed work that helps people process painful events and rebuild a sense of safety and agency over time. He also centers collaborative, question-led exploration to help clients clarify values, identify unhelpful patterns, and set achievable goals for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Follett works together with each person to determine which techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as progress and insight develop. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what actually helps the client move forward.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules. These formats offer flexibility for ongoing work, quick check-ins, and consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of where a person is located in Tennessee.
