About Lee-Andre

Lee-Andre Garvin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers straightforward, empathetic support and works with clients on common and complex life issues. His approach focuses on helping people find and use their inner strengths to move toward better mental health.

He believes change looks different for each person and prefers a collaborative style. Sessions are a mix of talking, practical tools, and creative exercises aimed at building skills for everyday life. Lee-Andre draws on past work with substance use, high school and community mental health settings to shape how he guides recovery and coping.

His background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and seven years of practice on the Front Range of Colorado. His background includes intensive substance use recovery treatment for adults and adolescents. His experience also covers anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, dissociation, and identity concerns around race and gender.

In sessions he combines mindfulness practices, art-based activities, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, and traditional talk therapy to help clients notice patterns and make changes. He aims to build a safe space for people to experiment with new ways of coping and relating to themselves.

People who choose to work with him can expect a cooperative process that emphasizes practical steps toward feeling more capable. He invites prospective clients to begin by sharing what’s most urgent, then shaping therapy to fit their needs and goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Lee-Andre uses evidence-based techniques in ways people can access remotely. Mindfulness practice is taught as simple, repeatable exercises to reduce stress and anxiety and to help regulate emotions. Motivational interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and building small, realistic steps toward goals. Trauma-informed talk work helps people make sense of difficult memories and reduce their emotional hold through paced, supportive conversation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify what feels most useful based on their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day needs. Clients and the therapist can try different methods and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, and sessions that do not require video can reduce bandwidth needs. Ask about the current session options to learn what will work best for your situation.
