Andrea Frye , LCSW, CSW

Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Colorado who brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions. Andrea keeps language plain and practical in sessions so people can act on what they learn. Her style is warm and curious. She encourages clients to try new perspectives and to notice what gets in the way of their goals. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, offers gentle challenges, and helps clients build on their strengths. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Andrea uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and trauma-informed care. She leans on approaches like cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work to identify patterns and develop actionable steps. Mindfulness and movement are often added to help connect thought, body, and emotion. She also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of their stories and find meaning after difficult experiences. Treatment plans are personalized to fit individual needs and priorities. Practical tools and small experiments are common in sessions. People who come to Andrea often want straightforward support for anxiety, mood shifts, relationship problems, body image concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity questions. She emphasizes empowerment and building resilience so clients can handle current challenges and future ones.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Andrea blends practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood and teaching skills to shift them. Solution-focused work centers on small, achievable steps and clear goals so clients see progress between sessions. Mindfulness and movement practices are also used to help people notice their bodies, calm stress responses, and build new habits that support mood and concentration.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The therapist-client relationship guides which techniques are most useful over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people managing busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, between-session reflection, and flexible check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on real change.
