About Andrea

Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who brings a direct, caring style to therapy. She uses a mix of practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Andrea draws on three years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm, curious space for conversation and problem solving.

She meets people with empathy and straightforward questions that help them see patterns and try new responses.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on small, achievable changes you can practice between meetings. Movement and mindfulness are commonly added to help people connect thoughts, feelings, and bodily experience. Andrea personalizes treatment around each person’s strengths and history.

She uses trauma-informed approaches and leans on positive psychology to build hope and resilience. Cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolkit for addressing unhelpful thinking and improving day-to-day functioning. Narrative exposure and existential perspectives also appear when exploring how life stories shape choices and meaning.

She helps people name difficult experiences and then choose new ways to move forward. Communication skills, commitment and attachment issues, and coping after loss or sudden change are frequently addressed. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The role Andrea takes is collaborative: she helps set goals, suggests doable practice, and adjusts her approach as needs change.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online

Andrea often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach breaks problems into smaller steps and teaches practical skills for daily life, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also integrates mindfulness and movement practices to reconnect thinking with bodily signals. These techniques teach simple exercises people can use between sessions to lower tension and stay grounded during difficult moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. Andrea works together with each client to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video works well for conversations that need visual cues, while phone calls may be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, try tools between meetings, and maintain momentum toward goals.
