About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah. He helps people facing relationship strain, grief, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, and struggles with addiction, sleep, or eating. He also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to adoption or caregiver stress.
With 34 years of experience, he keeps sessions direct and warm. Conversations are interactive and focused on practical change. He aims to treat each person with respect and without stigmatizing labels.
His work draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, manage upsetting thoughts, and build stronger emotional connections. He adapts sessions to a person’s needs and life situation rather than using one fixed method.
Jeffrey commonly blends what works from cognitive behavioral ideas, emotion-focused techniques, attachment-aware strategies, dialectical skills, and existential perspectives. That mix supports people who want clearer thinking, better emotion regulation, and more honest relationships.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect concrete tools, thoughtful listening, and coaching toward realistic goals. To begin, people complete a short intake and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people shift how they connect with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going by teaching practical skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflicts more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods that fit their goals and daily life. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time so therapy can happen between work and errands. Online meetings can make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions, while the therapist and client decide together how often and how long sessions should be.
