Lee-Andre Garvin

Lee-Andre Garvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. He also supports clients facing challenges like self-esteem concerns, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues related to identity and life transitions.

He approaches counseling as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. He listens for strengths people already have and works with them to build new coping skills that fit daily life.

Garvin trained at the University of Denver, earning a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. Over seven years he has worked in the Front Range in substance use recovery, high school settings, and community mental health. That experience includes helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, and identity questions around race and gender.

In the room he uses a mix of techniques to match what each person needs. Examples mentioned in his background include mindfulness, motivational interviewing, art-based activities, and trauma-focused talk work. He aims to make therapy practical and grounded so changes feel usable outside sessions.

People who choose him can expect straightforward communication and steady support as they work toward clearer goals. He welcomes questions about how therapy would fit into someone’s life and encourages prospective clients to consider a short matching process before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lee-Andre Garvin describes using several evidence-based approaches in his work. Mindfulness techniques teach simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce stress and interrupt worry. These practices can help with anxiety, mood regulation, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.

Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to strengthen motivation and set small, realistic goals. This approach is useful for making changes around substance use, habits, or life transitions.

He also incorporates art-based activities and trauma-focused talk work to help people process difficult memories and express things that are hard to say. Art activities provide an alternative way to explore feelings, while trauma-focused conversations aim to gradually make overwhelming experiences easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garvin aims to collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. He will adjust methods over time and invite feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also help when lower bandwidth or less time is required, but check which are offered before scheduling.
