About Andrea

Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, depression, and life changes. She uses a compassionate, curious style and aims to help clients find their authentic selves through steady support and practical tools.

Andrea takes a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that brings together several therapeutic ideas. Sessions center on listening, asking questions that open new perspectives, and helping people try different ways of coping. She encourages movement and mindfulness as ways to link body and mind during the work.

Her work draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and from solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Narrative and existential perspectives are also used when looking at life stories and meaning. Andrea personalizes methods to match each person’s needs and situation.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Andrea aims to be both encouraging and direct, offering exercises and reflections to use between meetings. The pace and emphasis shift based on what a person needs in the moment.

Andrea holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and also uses CSW. She has three years of clinical experience working in Colorado. She offers sessions in English and does not currently accept international clients.

If someone is unsure whether this approach fits, Andrea invites them to explore their needs together and see if there is a good connection.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Andrea often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify and change patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. That approach focuses on practical steps and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

She also draws on solution-focused and narrative elements to help people set short-term goals and re-author parts of their life story that feel stuck. Solution-focused work highlights quick, concrete changes while narrative work examines the meaning behind problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences, and needs with each person and adjust methods over time. The work usually mixes talking, brief exercises, and mindfulness or movement ideas depending on what fits the person’s life.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow someone to continue regular work while using brief or focused sessions that match daily routines.
