About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah with 34 years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. He also supports those facing trauma, addiction, ADHD, and parenting challenges.
Jeff uses a warm, interactive style that stays direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
His work draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps build healthier connections.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance, are offered when strong feelings or impulsive behavior get in the way. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques guide conversations about difficult emotions in relationships. Jeff tailors the plan to the person in front of him.
He blends practical coaching with deeper exploration when needed. He encourages small experiments, new routines, and steady problem-solving to help people regain control and feel more capable. Many people come for short-term coaching or longer therapy.
The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more satisfying relationships. Jeffrey aims to be a steady, experienced ally through change.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to notice how you relate to others and to practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT uses problem-focused exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be taught through short lessons and practiced between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as you learn what helps most. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings or use therapy during a break from work. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum toward change.Questions people ask about Jeffrey
