About Lee-Andre
Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and body image. Sessions are presented as collaborative counseling where the client and therapist work together on clear goals.
Garvin uses practical techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods. He integrates mindfulness practices, art therapy elements, motivational interviewing, trauma work, and talk therapy to help clients identify patterns and build coping skills. Sessions aim to make small changes that fit daily life rather than imposing complex treatment plans.
His background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Denver. He has provided substance abuse counseling and recovery services and has experience in high-school and community mental health settings. That work included treating anxiety, depression, trauma responses, bipolar disorder, dissociation, and identity concerns related to race and gender.
In sessions he helps people notice unconscious behaviors and develop steps toward mental wellness. He emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building. The approach tends to focus on what someone can do between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve relationships.
People considering therapy with Garvin are encouraged to begin by describing their main concerns and goals. He frames therapy as a cooperative process aimed at strengthening coping resources and addressing both common and complex life issues.

Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Garvin often draws on mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice stress and anxiety in the moment and learn simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity. These techniques are useful for managing daily worry and building emotional awareness.He also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen a person's own reasons for change. This approach focuses on practical steps and supports decisions about recovery, substance use, or behavior change.
Trauma-focused work is another component he uses to address trauma and abuse. That work involves pacing, grounding strategies, and processing experiences in ways that reduce overwhelm and increase coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of collaborative treatment. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and needs, and adjust methods over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which remote formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to continue consistent care while adapting techniques to each person's daily life.
