About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah. He helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar, and issues around self-esteem and addictions. He also supports people dealing with grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, and questions about identity, including LGBT concerns. His practice includes a focus on men's wellbeing as part of his broader work.
Jeff uses a warm, direct style in sessions. Conversations are practical and grounded. He listens closely, asks clear questions, and offers tools you can try between sessions.
His approach blends several methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current closeness and trust. Dialectical and emotion-focused strategies help manage intense feelings and improve emotional connection.
Jeff brings decades of experience to his work, and he adapts the plan to each person's needs. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions may include coaching elements when goals are concrete, such as improving communication or daily routines.
People who choose him often want straightforward guidance and practical steps. If you want to address mood, stress, or relationship patterns, he aims to create a collaborative plan. Start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current closeness and trust. In practice this means talking about important relationships, noticing patterns that repeat, and trying new behaviors to build safer connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is something the therapist does with the person. He will talk about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can change as needs and priorities become clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person visits. It can also let people choose quieter times or avoid camera use when that feels better. Discuss scheduling preferences and any practical needs during the matching and booking steps so sessions fit daily routines.
