About Andrea
Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker based in Colorado. She brings three years of practice as an LCSW and CSW to sessions. Andrea aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through hard moments and figure out practical next steps.
She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Then she helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Her style is curious and direct, with an emphasis on understanding strengths and resources. Andrea uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the problem. She often draws on cognitive ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, narrative work to reframe difficult memories, and solution-focused steps to build momentum.
Movement and mindfulness are added when they help someone feel more grounded in their body. People come to Andrea for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication problems.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person’s needs. Andrea emphasizes collaboration - she helps people set clear goals and measures progress together. She aims to help clients move from coping to feeling more capable and connected.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Andrea blends a few evidence-informed approaches in clear, everyday ways. Cognitive methods focus on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood; this helps with worry, negative self-talk, and reactivity. Narrative exposure work supports people in making sense of traumatic or painful memories by placing them into a safer story structure instead of reliving them. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and goals to build momentum when life feels overwhelming or stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try methods that match your needs and adjust them over time so the work fits how you live and what you want to change.
Andrea offers online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options let people access ongoing support without long commutes and with more scheduling flexibility.
