He earned a master of arts in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and has worked across the Front Range in settings that include substance abuse recovery, high school mental health, and community mental health services. Over that time he has supported adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, dissociation, identity concerns related to race and gender, and a wide range of life stressors.

He combines genuine empathy with practical therapeutic skills, drawing on approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy mindfulness, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, art therapy, and traditional talk therapy to tailor treatment to each person. Garvin emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify and build on their existing strengths while exploring patterns that may be holding them back. His background in recovery work and school-based counseling contributes to a flexible style that fits many needs and life stages.

Lee-Andre aims to create a supportive space where clients can work toward measurable changes in mood, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. He seeks to help individuals uncover inner resilience and apply it toward improved mental wellness.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Mental Health Care

Lee-Andre Garvin regularly uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) mindfulness techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and coping strategies for stress and anxiety. DBT mindfulness supports people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity by teaching practical skills they can use in daily life.

He also draws on trauma-focused therapeutic work to address the effects of past traumatic events. This approach involves carefully exploring trauma-related memories and symptoms while building safety and stabilization, and it is suited to people coping with trauma, abuse, or long-standing distress.

Motivational interviewing is another method he employs to help clients find internal motivation for change, especially in areas like recovery, behavior change, or building healthier relationships. This collaborative style helps clients clarify goals and take manageable steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lee-Andre works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, allows therapy from home or other convenient locations, and can make it easier to maintain consistent sessions. These options make it possible to access a licensed professional in ways that suit each individual’s routine and comfort level.
