About Andrea

Andrea Frye is a Colorado LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Andrea uses clear, practical talk to help people name problems and take next steps.

Andrea structures sessions around what a person needs now. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behavior patterns. She also uses narrative exposure to help people make sense of traumatic memory and solution-focused techniques for short-term goals.

Her work pays attention to how the body and movement affect mood. Mindfulness practices and simple movement are sometimes added to help grounding and self-regulation. Andrea combines these tools to match what a person brings into the room rather than following a single method.

She notes additional concerns she often addresses, including attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and questions arising around BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Andrea names these areas as part of her scope of interest rather than as diagnoses.

Sessions are offered in English from Colorado. Andrea uses a strengths-based, trauma-informed frame and encourages active collaboration so people can set manageable goals. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits

Andrea describes using cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. These methods are practical and often focus on small behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

She also uses narrative exposure to help people put distressing memories into context. This approach supports processing past events and reducing their immediate hold on current thoughts and feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used when a person wants clear, short-term goals and steps they can try between sessions.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to weigh goals, current challenges, and personal preferences and then adjust methods as needed. That way sessions stay relevant to what matters most in day-to-day life.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone join from a quieter spot with less bandwidth when video is difficult. Licensed professionals use these practical benefits to keep therapy accessible while focusing on the techniques that best support a person's goals.
