About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She brings 21 years of experience and a calm, direct style that focuses on practical skills and steady progress. Jessica aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for people who are overwhelmed or uncertain about where to begin.
Her approach blends several methods so sessions can be tailored to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She often uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-based work helps when past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one of the tools she may use for trauma-related memories.
Jessica values a respectful, down-to-earth relationship with the people she sees. She describes therapy as a kind of dance where sometimes the client leads and sometimes she does. The goal is to teach coping skills that become usable in everyday life, then gradually hand control back to the client.
Her background includes practice in multiple states before relocating to Utah. Jessica works with a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, addiction struggles, identity questions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating- and body-related difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses abandonment, attachment, blended family matters, and caregiver strain.
Sessions are offered in English and use formats like video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In an online session this approach helps people notice patterns in their close relationships and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more dependable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a method used for processing distressing memories; it can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when incorporated into a care plan.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the concern, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
