About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience, currently based in Utah. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and related issues.
She uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. Jessica often focuses on attachment concerns, coping skills for life changes, and healing from past abuse or loss. She also supports people facing blended family challenges, adoption or foster care questions, and complications around caregiving and codependency.
Her approach includes methods such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential reflection, and EMDR for trauma. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing small changes between meetings.
Jessica describes the therapist-client relationship as a give-and-take. Sometimes the client leads the focus, and sometimes she offers more direction. She aims to teach concrete skills so people can manage emotions, set boundaries, and improve communication at home.
She has practiced in several states and brings long experience helping people with grief, intimacy concerns, anger, body image, and ADHD-related struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect present interactions. Online sessions using this approach often look at how to change repetitive reactions and practice new ways of relating to partners or family members.Client-centered work emphasizes active listening and reflecting what a person says. In virtual meetings this can help someone feel heard while sorting out values, goals, and next steps for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and short homework tasks. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and some parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like EMDR, CBT exercises, and attachment-focused conversations to remote meetings so the work stays practical and focused on daily life.
