About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and life transitions.
Background and approach
With 21 years of clinical experience and credentials as an LMHC and LPC, she blends practical strategies with a compassionate, person-focused stance to support clients through grief, addiction issues, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and self-esteem struggles.
Jessica draws on a range of approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Her style emphasizes collaboration and gradual skill building.
She likens therapy to learning a dance where control sometimes shifts between client and clinician, and where patience, trust, and self-kindness are essential parts of change. Jessica also integrates attachment-informed perspectives and EMDR when addressing trauma and relational wounds, aiming to help clients develop more effective coping patterns and improved emotional regulation.
Based in Utah, she works with individuals facing family and relationship transitions, caregiving stress, body image and eating concerns, codependency, dissociation, and other complex issues. Jessica frames the therapeutic process as a partnership focused on practical tools, insight, and steady progress toward the client’s goals.
Therapeutic Approaches and How They Translate Online
Jessica uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Attachment-based work examines relational patterns formed over time and supports rebuilding healthier ways of relating to others, a useful pathway for attachment wounds, relationship struggles, and some trauma responses. She also integrates EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate, employing structured protocols to address the emotional and somatic impact of distressing memories.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of the presenting concerns, adjusting methods over time so treatment aligns with what helps the client feel safer, more effective, and more in control of daily challenges.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity of work while adapting techniques such as CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and trauma-focused interventions to remote settings.
