Andrea Frye

Andrea Frye is a Colorado LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and people coping with life changes. Andrea speaks English and practices from Colorado. She approaches clients with curiosity and cultural awareness. She asks questions that encourage new perspectives and helps people reflect on patterns that feel stuck. Sessions often focus on practical steps and finding small, doable shifts rather than big, abstract plans. Andrea uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts, and on narrative exposure to look at how past events shape current reactions. Solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, short-term goals that can be tested between sessions. Mindfulness and movement are part of her work when appropriate. This can mean practicing grounding exercises, brief mindfulness practices during sessions, or suggesting simple movement to help link the body and the mind. The aim is to make emotional work feel more accessible and immediate. People who come to Andrea are often dealing with relationship patterns, attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, or the stress of caregiving or chronic health issues. She also addresses areas like kink and alternative sexual cultures when relevant. To begin, clients use the platform matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. This approach focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change how someone feels. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses narrative exposure approaches. That means looking at how past events are told and retold and then reshaping those accounts to reduce their ongoing emotional charge. This method can help people who are processing trauma or difficult life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what's working and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday demands.
