About Jessica
Jessica Paletta is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience helping people navigate stress and anxiety. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Utah. Jessica focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and build stronger day-to-day coping skills.
She has worked extensively with parents caring for children who have developmental delays and disabilities. That background informs how she supports people facing parenting stress, maternal mental health concerns, and the challenges of caregiving.
Background and approach
She also helps with depression, self-esteem, grief, anger, addiction concerns, and sleep problems. Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. Her graduate studies keep her connected to current research and evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
She blends that knowledge with a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. Therapy with Jessica emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. She works with each person to build a plan that fits their values and daily life.
Sessions focus on concrete tools, problem-solving, and gradual changes that make routines easier to manage. People meet her for help during life transitions, after trauma, or when stress and anxiety feel constant. She also addresses family of origin issues, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care topics, communication problems, and codependency.
Jessica aims to give practical support so clients feel more capable and less overwhelmed.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges. One approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral changes through step-by-step practice. This helps when anxiety, sleep problems, or daily stress interfere with functioning. Another approach centers on attachment and family-of-origin work to improve communication and relationship patterns. That kind of work can help with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and codependency.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, daily routines, and preferences and then suggest options that match your needs. Together you’ll try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when reviewing coping tools or practicing communication skills. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for quick coping reminders, brief check-ins, or when writing out thoughts helps with reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a hectic schedule while working with a licensed professional.
