About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who aims to help people navigate tough seasons. She brings 21 years of experience and a calm, steady presence to sessions. Jessica writes plainly and meets people where they are without judgment or pressure.
She sees a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, grief, codependency, and ADHD. She also supports people facing relationship strain, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career and life changes, and caregiver burnout. Jessica lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, abandonment, blended family difficulties, body image, eating concerns, and dissociation.
Her approach mixes several methods to match what each person needs. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her work with trauma when appropriate.
Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a dance that sometimes leads and sometimes follows. She encourages steady practice of new skills, and she guides people through moments that feel uncomfortable. The goal is to build coping skills so clients can handle future challenges more confidently.
She is based in Utah and holds both LMHC and LPC credentials. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns people bring from early relationships and how those patterns show up now. Online sessions can use this approach to trace connection styles, communication habits, and triggers so someone can practice different responses.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a clear, practical way. In remote sessions CBT often involves short skill-building exercises, tracking thoughts between meetings, and trying small behavior changes between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used for processing traumatic memories when it fits the person's needs and readiness. When applied remotely, the therapist and client work together to pace the work and focus on tolerable steps toward relief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and comfort. She adjusts pacing and techniques as trust and skill grow so the plan feels manageable rather than rushed.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm available options before booking. The aim is to make therapy fit into everyday life while targeting the issues a person brings.
