About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Utah who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and challenges like ADHD and addiction. He also supports concerns around self-esteem, grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, and life transitions. He writes plainly and meets people where they are.
Jeff uses a warm, direct approach in sessions. Conversations are practical and interactive. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns in feelings and behavior.
Background and approach
Together they set small, doable steps toward change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment ideas are part of his work when relationships and connection are central. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical skills for managing strong emotions.
Across 34 years of practice, Jeffrey has worked with many people dealing with trauma, adoption and foster care themes, attachment issues, and complex life stressors like chronic illness or caregiver strain. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person’s story instead. Sessions are tailored to the individual.
Some people need short-term coaching to get through a crisis. Others prefer ongoing therapy to change long-standing patterns. He aims for clear goals and steady progress.

Online support
How emotion, attachment, and practical skills translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. It is useful when connection, trust, or repeated cycles of disconnection are causing pain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current expectations and reactions, and it can help people change how they relate to important others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process can include blending emotion-focused work with skill-building and thought work when needed.
Online sessions make this work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get support when they need it. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
