About Andrea
Andrea Frye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with three years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Andrea also addresses concerns like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and issues related to kink and alternative sex culture.
Andrea uses an adaptable approach rather than one fixed method. She leans on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mixes elements from cognitive behavioral, narrative exposure, and solution-focused therapies. Mindfulness and movement are regular parts of sessions when they fit the person’s needs.
Sessions emphasize practical skills as well as looking at personal stories that shape guilt and shame. Andrea encourages people to notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice small changes between meetings. She guides conversations so problems feel clearer and more manageable.
Her work is trauma-informed and strengths-based, with attention to cultural context and client preferences. Andrea invites collaboration on goals and on what methods will be tried. The result is a direct, down-to-earth process that aims to help people carry less weight from past events while building day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Andrea commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday guilt that follows specific decisions.She also uses narrative exposure work to look at the stories people tell themselves about past events. That method helps map how experiences shaped current shame and find alternative, less self-blaming perspectives.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Clients and therapist check in and adjust methods as progress unfolds.
The practical advantages of working online are about making sessions fit into life. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people appreciate being able to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, have shorter check-ins when needed, or choose audio over video if that helps them stay focused. Online meetings can reduce travel time and make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy week.
