About Lee-Andre
Lee-Andre Garvin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. He describes therapy as a team effort and aims to help people find the inner strengths they already have. Lee-Andre uses straightforward talk therapy alongside creative tools when useful.
He listens with empathy and offers practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes rather than big, quick fixes.
Background and approach
He earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has practiced on Colorado's Front Range for seven years. That work has included substance abuse recovery counseling and roles in high-school and community mental health settings.
These roles exposed him to a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar symptoms, dissociation, and identity questions related to race and gender. Lee-Andre draws from several evidence-informed techniques, including mindfulness skills, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused methods, art-based interventions, and dialectical behavior therapy practices. He tailors those tools to each person’s goals and pace.
The overall aim is to build coping skills and increase everyday functioning. People who meet with him can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to talk through current problems and plan concrete steps forward. He encourages questions about approach and progress so therapy stays aligned with what each person needs.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Lee-Andre uses several evidence-informed techniques adapted for online formats. Mindfulness skills teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and anxiety and can be guided during video or phone sessions. Motivational interviewing focuses on clarifying a person's goals and increasing motivation for change through conversational techniques that work well over live chat or messaging. Trauma-focused methods help people process difficult memories at a steady pace and can be introduced in video sessions where verbal and visual cues help the therapist gauge reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lee-Andre will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to find pacing, tools, and formats that fit daily life.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick support, journaling-style reflections, or step-by-step skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules across Colorado.
