About Lee-Andre

Lee-Andre Garvin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with seven years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also lists concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and challenges tied to chronic illness and caregiving.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. He uses talk therapy alongside approaches like mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try different responses in their daily life.

Garvin trained in clinical mental health counseling at the University of Denver and has worked across the Front Range. His background includes substance abuse counseling, recovery work, and time as a high-school and community mental health therapist. That experience informs how he addresses anxiety, depression, trauma, identity questions, and related concerns.

In sessions he draws on skills from DBT mindfulness, motivational interviewing, art-based methods, and trauma-focused work. He often helps people identify what keeps a problem going, then practices specific techniques to shift those patterns. Conversations are meant to be practical and direct, aimed at building useful day-to-day tools.

People who contact him usually start by clarifying what they want to change and which small steps might feel doable. He describes therapy as cooperative work to help people get closer to their own inner strength and manage the problems that brought them in.

Therapeutic methods and how online sessions work

Lee-Andre uses evidence-based techniques in straightforward ways. DBT mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and calm anxiety. Motivational interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps clarify reasons to change behavior without pressure. Trauma-focused work looks at memories and reactions to reduce their hold and teach safer ways to cope.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss what feels most useful, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what helps the client meet their goals and preferences. The emphasis is on testing practical steps together rather than on one fixed method.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific session formats. Ask about available options when you select the See online therapy options button. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can more easily happen between errands or work breaks.
