About Lee-Andre
Lee-Andre Garvin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. He also lists codependency among his focus areas and helps people who struggle with people-pleasing and losing themselves in relationships.
Lee-Andre takes a collaborative approach. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversation rather than labels. He aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and build straightforward skills to respond differently in daily life.
He earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has practiced across the Front Range. His background includes work as a substance abuse counselor and roles in high-school and community mental health settings. That work gave him experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, identity concerns around race and gender, and recovery-focused treatment.
In sessions he uses a mix of techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and methods mentioned in his background. That can include mindfulness skills, motivational interviewing, art-based activities, trauma work, and focused talk therapy to examine deeper patterns. He aims to help people notice automatic reactions and try concrete alternatives.
People who choose him can expect direct conversation, skill-building, and reflection on how past experiences shape present choices. He encourages clients to try small changes and track what works. To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Lee-Andre draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and insight. Mindfulness-based approaches teach simple practices to reduce reactivity and ground attention, which can help with anxiety and stress. Motivational interviewing involves focused, conversational work to clarify what matters to the client and build small, doable changes that stick.He also uses trauma-focused talk and expressive methods like art-based activities to make difficult material more approachable. These approaches aim to help people notice their impulses, practice different responses, and test small changes in daily life. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. He works with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level rather than prescribing one method up front.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use less camera time or choose phone check-ins when bandwidth or energy is limited. Lee-Andre will discuss what works best so sessions fit into everyday life.
