How cognitive approaches guide online work
Dr. Frye uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that keep them stuck and try out different responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so small changes can lead to clearer results. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns like codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. That process may include adjusting techniques over time as new issues come up or progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use structured tools and homework in remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings, keeping momentum toward their goals.
