Andrea Frye, LCSW, CSW

Andrea Frye is a licensed clinical social worker who works in Colorado. She brings three years of clinical experience and a straightforward, caring manner to sessions. Andrea aims to meet people with curiosity and empathy while helping them take practical steps toward feeling better.

Her style blends several evidence-based techniques to fit each person. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on narrative exposure and solution-focused work to clarify problems and set manageable goals.

Andrea emphasizes trauma-informed, strengths-based care. Mindfulness and movement are often part of her sessions to help clients notice the mind-body connection. She encourages people to try small, concrete practices between visits so progress continues outside the session.

She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional areas Andrea addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture.

Andrea describes her work as collaborative and empowering. She invites people to explore their needs and test new perspectives. The aim is to build resilience and support practical change over time.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Andrea uses a few evidence-based techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Narrative exposure helps people place difficult events into a personal story so painful memories feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

She pairs those approaches with mindfulness and movement practices to strengthen the mind-body connection. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity, while guided movement can help with stress, regulation, and grounding during hard moments.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adapting plans based on what helps most over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also offer options for sessions with less reliance on video when bandwidth or screen time is a concern. Licensed professionals can work with these practicalities to help therapy fit day-to-day routines.
