Jeffrey Lavallee, LMFT

Jeffrey Lavallee is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Utah with 34 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing relationship stress, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, addiction concerns, and codependency patterns. He also helps people struggling with self-esteem, ADHD, grief, sleep and eating problems, and the practical pressures of parenting and caregiving.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations that focus on what is happening now. He uses clear feedback and practical strategies rather than long labels. Sessions look at how thoughts, emotions, and behavior interact, and how patterns developed in earlier relationships still affect day-to-day life.

His approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for coping skills and emotional regulation. He also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused and Existential work when addressing values, meaning, and connection.

In sessions he helps people identify where they give too much or lose their voice. Work can include boundary practice, communication skills, and steps to reduce reactivity. Practical tools and skill-building are combined with talking through painful experiences and past losses.

Jeffrey has decades of experience guiding people toward clearer choices and steadier relationships. He asks direct questions, gives feedback, and helps set realistic goals people can try between sessions. If someone wants a focused, practical way to handle codependency and related relationship problems, his work centers on skills plus reflection.
