About Lee-Andre

Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC, helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers steady support and practical talking-based counseling for everyday problems and more complex concerns like substance misuse, identity questions, or legal stressors. Lee-Andre aims to help clients find strengths they already have and use those strengths toward better mental health.

He takes a collaborative approach in sessions, working with each person to set goals and try techniques that fit their life. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, along with space to process feelings and patterns. Lee-Andre emphasizes emotional support paired with skills practice so clients feel both heard and equipped to manage challenges.

Lee-Andre earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has seven years of practice on Colorado’s Front Range. He has experience as a substance abuse counselor and as a high-school and community mental health therapist. That work included helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, bipolar disorder, and identity concerns related to race and gender.

He uses a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions, including mindfulness, elements of DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused methods, art-based work, and talk therapy. The approach is practical and tailored - not the same for everyone. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to try.

People considering therapy will find a straightforward, goal-focused style that balances empathy with actionable steps. Lee-Andre encourages reaching out to begin matching on next steps and scheduling.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lee-Andre uses a few straightforward, evidence-based techniques in his practice. Mindfulness and DBT-informed mindfulness help people learn grounding skills and emotion regulation by practicing focused attention and simple exercises. Motivational interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people explore their ambivalence about change and find personal reasons to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy continues so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use a quieter or lower-bandwidth setup if that helps them focus. Lee-Andre aims to shape sessions so they fit practical schedules and real-life constraints, while still working toward clear goals.
