Dr. Frye supports work on relationships, parenting concerns, career stress, codependency, addictions, and issues common to young adults. She frames work around what the client wants to change and how to get there, using techniques that are concrete and easy to apply.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Dr. Frye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns because it emphasizes practical skills and measurable changes.

She focuses on learning small, repeatable techniques during sessions and assigning simple exercises between meetings. Treatment planning is collaborative - the therapist and client choose which strategies to try, adjust them as needed, and track progress over time. That way the approach fits the client’s goals and daily life.

Online therapy offers the same kinds of focused work with more scheduling flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and share worksheets in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or getting thoughts down between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines and support ongoing skill practice.
