Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC

Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He works with practical life issues ranging from substance use and legal concerns to questions about gender and racial identity. Lee-Andre aims to help clients access their inner strengths and use those strengths toward better mental health.

He describes therapy as a cooperative process. Sessions focus on building skills, understanding patterns, and finding realistic steps forward. He offers empathy and clear guidance rather than judgment or quick fixes.

Lee-Andre earned a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has practiced in Colorado’s Front Range for seven years. His past work includes substance abuse counseling and roles in high school and community mental health settings. That background informs his approach to recovery, identity concerns, and trauma-related problems.

His clinical work has included mindfulness practices from dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, talk therapy, and exploring unconscious behavior patterns. He aims to match methods to what each person needs, rather than use a single technique for everyone.

People who choose him can expect a therapist who values honest conversation and steady support. He focuses on small, actionable changes that add up over time. Those seeking help with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, or aging-related challenges may also find relevant experience in his background.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online work

Lee-Andre lists a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques in his background. Mindfulness work from dialectical behavior approaches teaches simple breathing and attention skills that help lower anxiety and improve emotional control. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person's own goals and reasons for change, which can be useful for substance use, recovery work, or any behavior someone wants to shift.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, past efforts, and what feels helpful. From there he tailors which techniques to try and adjusts them as progress unfolds so treatment fits the person's needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to check in during transitions or when time is tight.
