About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah with 34 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, grief, addictions, mood concerns like bipolar, and issues with self-esteem and stress.
He also supports those facing parenting challenges, adoption and foster care questions, ADHD, sleep or eating concerns, and LGBT-related struggles. Jeff uses a direct but warm style in sessions.
Background and approach
He listens closely and offers clear feedback. Conversations focus on practical steps and on understanding what matters to each person. He draws on several approaches, including existential therapy, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused methods.
That mix lets him shift between exploring meaning and addressing patterns of thought and behavior. Sessions often include short exercises, reflection, and discussion about real-life choices. Jeff aims to create an open space where people can talk about fears and hopes without labels.
He frames goals in everyday terms and helps people try new ways of coping between sessions. Progress is measured by what the person can do differently in daily life. In addition to therapy, he offers coaching-style guidance for practical problems like career decisions, communication skills, and managing stress.
People who want straightforward, experienced support for complex personal and relationship concerns may find this approach easy to follow.

Online support
How online approaches and existential work fit together
Jeff combines existential therapy with attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, responsibility, and how people face life changes; it can help when someone feels stuck, uncertain, or lost after big events. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people develop safer, clearer ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and daily routines.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as new priorities emerge. The therapist and client decide together which tools to use and when to shift focus.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for relationship or emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, family, and everyday life.
