About Andrea

Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with three years of professional experience. She brings a compassionate, curious approach to sessions and helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or coping with trauma and major life changes.

Andrea encourages clients to look at problems from new angles. She uses practical, strengths-based methods and asks questions that invite reflection. Her style is collaborative and grounded in empathy, so people leave sessions with clear next steps rather than more confusion.

Her work draws on trauma-informed care and elements of positive psychology and mindfulness. Andrea also uses cognitive behavioral, existential, narrative exposure, and solution-focused ideas to tailor treatment to each person. She often weaves movement and simple mindfulness practices into sessions to help link thoughts and body sensations.

Andrea has experience supporting relationship concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, issues around commitment and communication, and a range of identity and intimacy topics including BDSM and kink cultures. She also helps people navigating chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Her aim is to help people build resilience and reconnect with what matters to them. Prospective clients start by matching through the site and scheduling according to therapist availability. Sessions are conducted in English and Andrea practices from Colorado as a Colorado LCSW and CSW.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Andrea commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based practices. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness methods teach simple attention and breathing exercises that help people notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away.

She also uses elements of narrative exposure and solution-focused ideas to help people make sense of painful events and identify concrete next steps. Narrative work helps people name and reorganize difficult memories, while solution-focused methods focus on what is already working and how to build on it.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can change as progress is made, and Andrea checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try techniques at home between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill building just as in-office work, with the same focus on goals and gradual progress.
