About Jessica
Jessica Paletta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) licensed in Utah with seven years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She also works with issues around sleep, grief, anger, addictions, and compassion fatigue.
Paletta has extensive experience supporting parents caring for children with developmental delays and disabilities. She also supports people facing maternal mental health challenges and parenting stress. That background informs how she talks through practical problems and emotional struggles with those in caregiving roles.
She is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. That ongoing study keeps her current with research and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She aims to blend research-informed ideas with everyday tools people can use between sessions.
Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and collaboration. She works with each person to develop a clear plan based on their goals and values. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and manageable steps forward.
People who contact her can expect direct, plain-speaking guidance aimed at reducing overwhelm. She pays attention to family and parenting dynamics while helping clients build coping skills and adjust patterns that cause stress. The focus is on practical change rather than abstract theory.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Jessica integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into her work. One approach focuses on skill-based interventions that teach concrete coping strategies for anxiety, parenting stress, and depression. These are practical exercises and tools people can practice between sessions to manage moments of overwhelm.Another common strand is attachment-informed work, which looks at how early relationships shape current family dynamics and parenting responses. This helps people understand patterns in communication, closeness, and boundary-setting and then try different behaviors in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans as needed. That makes therapy a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.
The practical benefits of online sessions are fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping progress steady. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions easier to attend around school, work, and caregiving demands, or useful for shorter check-ins when bandwidth for longer visits is limited.
