Lee-Andre Garvin

Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers steady support and clear guidance for common and complex life problems. His approach is practical and focused on helping people find their own resources for change.

Lee-Andre draws on seven years of practice on Colorado's Front Range. He earned a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has worked in school, community mental health, and substance recovery settings. That background informs how he responds to anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, identity questions, and substance-related struggles.

Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. He listens first, then helps clients identify small, manageable steps toward improvement. He uses a mix of talk therapy, mindfulness skills from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, art-based methods, and trauma-focused work depending on what a person needs.

Lee-Andre emphasizes building inner strength and practical coping tools. He often helps clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck and develop new ways to respond. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and issues tied to gender and racial identity.

People who prefer clear, straightforward guidance may find his style a good fit. He aims to make the therapy process understandable and useful, and to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed to having concrete strategies for everyday life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lee-Andre uses several evidence-based approaches in session. He often employs mindfulness skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Those practices teach breath work, grounding, and attention skills that are useful during stressful moments.

He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to clarify a person's goals and strengthen their motivation for change. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own reasons to try new behaviors. When relevant, he brings trauma-focused methods that help people process painful memories and develop safer ways to cope with triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works together with each person to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means plans can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Talk with him during the matching process to find an approach and session rhythm that fit your day-to-day routine.
