About Jessica
Jessica Katz is an LMHC and an LPC with 21 years of clinical experience based in Utah. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and ADHD. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Jessica uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She pays attention to how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centered approaches when helpful. She also uses EMDR and existential ideas for people processing traumatic memories or major life questions.
Sessions focus on clear skills and concrete steps. Jessica teaches coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She supports people through separation, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, codependency, dissociation, and commitment or control struggles.
Her style balances guidance and collaboration. Some sessions are directive and skill-based, while others explore meaning and personal values. Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a changing partnership where both people share the lead at different times.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Jessica uses therapy approaches online
CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches concrete skills for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more stable ways of relating and responding in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may shift as needs change during therapy.
The therapist biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also allow for quieter surroundings or sessions without video when that helps with focus. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, EMDR protocols, and CBT homework to the online setting so practical skill building continues between sessions.
