Background and approach
Lee-Andre aims to help clients access their own strengths and use those strengths toward better mental health. Lee-Andre holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Denver and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Colorado. Over seven years he has worked in schools, community mental health, and substance recovery settings.
That background gives him experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, and substance-related issues. He has provided recovery treatment to adults and adolescents in intensive settings and has worked in high-school mental health. Those roles shaped his focus on practical coping skills and steady emotional support during crises and change.
In sessions he draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He uses mindfulness, motivational approaches, and conversational work to look at deeper patterns and behavior. Lee-Andre keeps the goals concrete and adjusts methods to suit each person's pace and needs.
Approaches that translate to online care
Lee-Andre uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. This approach can reduce reactive worry and improve focus in daily life.He also uses motivational interviewing methods to clarify what matters to a person and to strengthen their own reasons for change. This helps with sticking to recovery goals and making steady progress on tough problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lee-Andre will talk through options and try methods that match a person's goals, concerns, and comfort level. The plan can change as needs shift, so therapy stays practical and person-centered.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing things out helps clarify thoughts. These formats help people access care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
