About Lee-Andre
Lee-Andre Garvin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with seven years of practice in the Front Range and Colorado. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also lists a wide range of related concerns he addresses, including attachment and identity issues and challenges tied to adoption and caregiving.
He uses practical, direct counseling. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, building coping skills, and identifying patterns that get in the way. He draws on techniques from mindfulness, motivational interviewing, art therapy, and trauma work to help clients manage symptoms and make changes in daily life.
Lee-Andre trained at the University of Denver, where he completed a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. His background includes work as a substance abuse counselor and roles in high school and community mental health settings. That experience shaped a practice centered on clear goals and hands-on strategies.
In sessions he takes a collaborative approach. He aims to help people notice unhelpful habits, try different ways of responding, and build skills that fit their routines. He frames therapy as active work rather than just talking.
He often helps people dealing with identity questions around race and gender, and with the stress that comes from legal or recovery issues. People who prefer a mix of practical exercises, reflective conversation, and creative techniques may find his style matches what they need.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Lee-Andre commonly uses mindfulness-based practices and motivational interviewing in his work. Mindfulness exercises focus on noticing thoughts and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. Motivational interviewing involves short, directed conversations that help people clarify what they want to change and find internal reasons to act.He also incorporates trauma-focused techniques that help people work through difficult memories and their emotional impact. These approaches are aimed at reducing symptoms and changing daily patterns through gradual, practical steps rather than quick fixes. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly so sessions match what the client needs.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. Many people find remote work easier to fit into early-adult schedules, since sessions can be scheduled around school, work, or caregiving. Online meetings can make it simpler to check in during a work break, do shorter follow-ups, or avoid travel. Confirm the specific session options offered when you sign up so you can pick what fits your routine best.
