Andrea Frye

Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker who brings three years of practice to her Colorado-based work. Andrea, LCSW, CSW, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She aims to create a respectful and curious atmosphere where people can feel heard and try new ways of coping.

Andrea uses straightforward, practical methods tailored to each person. She draws on strengths-based and trauma-informed ideas while mixing in elements of positive psychology and mindfulness. Cognitive behavioral, existential, narrative exposure, and solution-focused perspectives appear in her work as useful tools rather than rigid rules.

Movement and mindfulness are often part of sessions to help connect thoughts, feelings, and the body. Andrea encourages clients to notice small shifts and put simple strategies into daily life. She emphasizes collaboration and aims to support people in finding their own values and goals.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency and commitment issues, body image, alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink, and managing chronic pain or illness. Andrea takes an eclectic approach and adjusts interventions to what each person needs in the moment.

Andrea describes her role as a companion in the work rather than an authoritative teacher. She invites people to explore their needs, try new perspectives, and build on existing strengths to move toward meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online work

Andrea draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try concrete experiments to shift behavior and mood. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors because it focuses on small, practical changes.

She also uses elements of narrative exposure and existential work to help people make sense of their life story and identify values that matter. These methods can help when someone is wrestling with meaning, loss, or major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also enable continuing care during life changes so progress stays consistent without major disruption.
