About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who offers steady, compassionate support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She practices from Utah and brings two decades of experience to sessions. Jessica aims to help people build practical skills to manage emotions and daily challenges.
Jessica uses straightforward, person-focused methods in therapy. She often helps clients address parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction concerns, and work or career stress. She also works with concerns tied to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and ADHD when they affect daily functioning.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-focused and client-centered work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one of the tools she may use for processing trauma. Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a gradual collaboration where skills are taught and practiced until the client can apply them independently.
She writes directly about the hard parts of change, such as parental alienation, blended family transitions, dissociation, eating and body-image struggles, and caregiver stress. Sessions are centered on clear, teachable strategies so people can learn coping tools and new ways of relating.
Jessica frames therapy as a process that needs patience and self-kindness. She emphasizes practical skill building and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her aim is to help clients gain the tools they need to manage current problems and face future challenges with more confidence.
How Jessica's Approaches Can Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life; it helps people notice how those patterns influence current connections and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to help people make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most helpful. Together they pick strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work fits real life.
