About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Lavoie is a Connecticut Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, anger, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions are focused on practical skills and straightforward conversation aimed at reducing immediate frustration and improving day-to-day functioning.
He uses a collaborative, person-centered style that asks what matters most to the client. That means talking through communication habits, patterns that lead to outbursts, and ways to manage impulsivity. He also helps clients clarify values and life purpose when transitions feel overwhelming.
Jeffrey has experience working with first responders, people exploring gender identity, and those dealing with panic attacks. He supports people managing autism spectrum experiences and intellectual disability, and he helps with blended family dynamics and parenting questions.
Typical work in sessions includes learning strategies to cope with anger and stress, practicing clearer communication, and identifying triggers that lead to reactive behavior. He also addresses issues like control, forgiveness, and building self-love over time.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session through the service workflow.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Jeffrey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help identify the thoughts and situations that trigger anger, and then teach new responses. These techniques are useful for managing panic, reducing reactive behavior, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.He also draws from problem-solving and behavioral approaches that break big problems into smaller steps. That work focuses on building routines, practicing communication, and developing impulse control. These methods can be helpful for ADHD, stress, and parenting challenges because they emphasize clear actions and measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and daily life. Clients and therapist review what works and adjust the plan together as sessions proceed.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a commute, a work break, or a busy day, and some formats can reduce the need for video.
