About Andrea

Andrea Frye is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with three years of practice. She sees adults for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and help coping with life changes. Andrea also lists codependency among her focus areas. She communicates in English and practices from Colorado.

Andrea frames therapy as a chance to look at patterns and try different ways of responding. She asks direct questions and invites people to notice how their choices affect their mood and relationships. Sessions tend to be a mix of talking, practical exercises, and simple mindfulness or movement suggestions.

Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Andrea uses elements of cognitive behavioral work to map thoughts and behavior. She also borrows from narrative exposure and solution-focused techniques to clarify problems and identify small, doable steps forward.

Andrea describes her approach as strengths-based and trauma-informed. That means she focuses on what a person already does well while staying aware of past hurt that still matters today. She often brings in mindfulness and movement to help people connect what they feel in their body with what they think and say.

People who come to her often want concrete help with setting boundaries, managing anxiety, or making sense of difficult relationships. To begin, clients follow an online matching process and schedule an initial session. Andrea asks clients to try straightforward practices between sessions and to report back on what worked and what did not.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used online and what to expect

Andrea uses a few straightforward, evidence-based techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Narrative exposure helps people name and organize difficult memories so those memories feel less chaotic and more manageable. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, concrete steps a person can try between sessions and measure what changes. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Andrea discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts techniques based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist review progress together and shift focus when something isn’t working. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or movement practices in their own daily setting. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue therapy when life changes or travel makes in-person work harder. Discuss with the clinician how to structure sessions so they match your schedule and the kinds of exercises you want to try.
