About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavallee is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Utah with 34 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on relationship struggles, anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a wide range of life stresses. He also supports people facing issues like ADHD, addictions, grief, and changes that unsettle daily life.
Jeff uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions are interactive and direct. He combines behavioral tools with attention to emotional patterns and relationship dynamics. That means clients may practice new ways of thinking and acting, and also look at how past attachment experiences affect current reactions.
His toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, dialectical skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, and attachment-focused work to map how relationships shape responses. Existential ideas are used to talk about meaning, direction, and choices when life feels stuck.
In a session with him, people can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative problem solving. He pays attention to communication patterns, control and avoidance issues, and common triggers for anger and resentment. Practical skills and conversational reflection are often combined in each meeting.
Jeff supports people who want structured steps and real-world strategies. He helps clients practice specific skills between sessions, and checks progress as part of ongoing work. The aim is better understanding of patterns and clearer options for changing them.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns and practice different ways of relating in everyday interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression because it gives clear skills and exercises to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques that help when anger flares or when stress feels overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, daily stresses, and preferred ways of working and will suggest which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so they can meet more consistently. The focus is on practical tools and regular practice that fit into ordinary life rather than lengthy theory alone.
