Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC

Lee-Andre Garvin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers straightforward support and practical guidance for everyday struggles and big transitions, including concerns that often appear in midlife.

Sessions with him focus on building strengths and finding realistic steps forward. He aims to create a cooperative space where the client takes an active role in change. Conversations are direct and empathetic, mixing talk therapy with skills practice so people can use what they learn between sessions.

He earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Denver. Over seven years he has worked across the Front Range in Colorado, including substance abuse treatment, high school counseling, and community mental health settings. That range of experience informs how he approaches complex presentations like co-morbidity, trauma, and identity concerns.

Lee-Andre uses a mix of approaches such as mindfulness skills from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, art therapy techniques, and traditional talk therapy. He often integrates these methods to match the problem at hand and the person in the room.

People who choose him should expect a practical, collaborative process. He helps uncover coping skills, examine patterns, and strengthen personal resources so clients can manage symptoms and make clearer decisions during challenging life stages.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Lee-Andre often combines mindfulness practices from dialectical behavior therapy with motivational interviewing techniques. Mindfulness helps people notice reactions and reduce reactivity, which suits anxiety, stress, and anger. Motivational interviewing helps clarify goals and boosts the confidence needed to make changes, useful for depression or substance-related concerns.

He also draws on trauma-focused work and art therapy techniques when a gentler or more experiential route is helpful. Trauma-focused approaches aim to process difficult memories and reduce their grip on daily life, while art techniques let people express things that are hard to put into words.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. He works with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps refine what is tried in early sessions and adjust as progress is made.
