Codependency and young adult transitions are additional areas she often supports.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and a Doctor of Christian Psychology. She holds the LPC credential in Georgia. Her approach is direct but compassionate, focused on practical changes rather than labels.

How Dr. Frye Uses CBT and Practical Strategies Online

Dr. Frye uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting and testing thoughts that get in the way of feeling better. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, mood swings, and changing problematic habits by teaching simple skills to shift thinking and behavior.

Her approach emphasizes setting short-term goals and trying clear exercises between sessions. Together the client and therapist review what worked and what didn’t, then adjust the plan. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques fit a person’s life and goals.

Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into a busy routine and reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit a check-in during a break, or continue progress when schedules change. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and which will best match your needs and daily life.
