Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC

Lee-Andre Garvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers steady emotional support and practical counseling aimed at helping clients tap into their own strengths. Lee-Andre presents a direct and compassionate approach that focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him.

He emphasizes collaboration in sessions, inviting clients to take an active role in setting goals and testing steps that fit their lives. His style blends talking through issues with practical skills for managing feelings and behavior. He also uses creative methods, such as art-based activities and mindfulness practices, when those fit a client's needs.

Lee-Andre earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has worked in the Front Range for seven years. His background includes roles as a substance abuse counselor and work within high-school and community mental health settings. That experience has given him exposure to a wide range of concerns, from identity and grief to more complex co-occurring issues.

Beyond the core specialties, he has supported people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image concerns, and matters related to BDSM and kink. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical interventions to help people move forward.

Sessions are intended to be a partnership where the client’s goals guide the work. Prospective clients are encouraged to meet and see whether his approach feels like a fit before moving forward.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Lee-Andre uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One approach he often uses is mindfulness practice, which teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation. Another common element is talk therapy combined with motivational interviewing, which helps people clarify goals and find reasons to try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That selection can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also let someone choose a shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited or opt for a session without video when that better suits the moment.
