About Jessica

Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She has 21 years of experience and works from Utah. Jessica offers practical guidance for parents, people struggling with attachment or adoption-related concerns, and those coping with mood, eating, or substance issues.

Jessica blends straightforward talk with hands-on strategies. She uses approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening to help people build skills. Sessions emphasize small, usable steps that fit into daily life.

Her style mixes direction and collaboration. Sometimes she guides the pace and suggests exercises; other times she follows the client’s lead and reflects what’s coming up. The goal is to teach coping tools so people can manage strong feelings and interpersonal stress more easily.

Jessica also addresses relationship and family-related stresses, including blended family challenges, abandonment issues, and parenting strain. She works with concerns around identity, intimacy, codependency, and compassion fatigue as well as ADHD and career stress.

Her practice draws on experience across several states and many types of clinical work. She frames therapy as a step-by-step process that needs patience and self-kindness. Clients who want clear skills, steady support, and an honest working relationship often find this approach helpful.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and homework to change unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories through structured sets of guided attention and reflection. It can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions and make daily life feel more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit each person. Sessions can include practical skill work, reflective conversation, and structured trauma processing when appropriate.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting therapy into everyday life. It can be easier to schedule sessions around work or parenting, limit travel time, and keep continuity when living far from a clinician. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking to understand what will work best for your routine.
