About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Lavallee is an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah who helps people address relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, addictions, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He also works with issues around self-esteem, parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions. With 34 years of clinical work, he brings long-term experience supporting clients through complex challenges including attachment, adoption and foster care, codependency, and chronic illness or caregiving stress.

His style blends warmth and directness: conversations tend to be both compassionate and practical, tailored to the individual rather than relying on labels.

He draws on a range of therapies - including Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential perspectives - to shape treatment plans that fit a person’s goals and circumstances.

Jeffrey emphasizes collaboration, respect, and sensitivity while offering skill-building, insight, and coaching to help clients move toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns. Clients seeking help can expect a thoughtful, experienced clinician who adapts his methods to each situation and focuses on real-world improvements in relationships, mood, and daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early bonds influence present-day relationships and emotional responses; it helps people explore patterns of connection and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, consider preferences, and try methods that fit the issue at hand, adjusting the plan over time based on what produces progress and what feels comfortable for the client.

Online therapy with this clinician can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access across different routines and needs. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
