The aim is better daily functioning emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

To begin, Dr. Frye asks about the most pressing issue and works with each person to shape a plan. He describes therapy as a partnership where progress comes from honest discussion and steady effort.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Dr. Frye commonly uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead, helping them name concerns and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe place to sort out feelings or decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. That collaborative process helps find the mix of talk, skills practice, and mindfulness that feels most helpful.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. Licensed professionals can also use phone or video to practice communication skills, run brief coaching-style sessions, and guide behavioral exercises that translate to everyday routines.
