Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and self esteem concerns. She brings 21 years of experience and a calm, straightforward presence to sessions. People who are nervous about starting therapy often find her style steady and direct. Jessica works from Utah and holds credentials as an LMHC and an LPC.
Her work focuses on practical skill building and emotional healing. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, helping clients learn coping skills, process difficult memories, and improve communication. Sessions aim to be collaborative - sometimes the client leads, sometimes she guides more actively.
Jessica draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When trauma is a core concern, she includes methods aimed at processing those memories.
Christian faith informs her way of relating to people, and she emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion. Her practice includes help for issues such as parenting strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, body image, and relationship conflict. She also supports people facing life transitions and career questions.
Clients who choose Jessica can expect patience, clear feedback, and a focus on building practical skills. Her goal is to help people grow stronger and more confident so they can handle future challenges with greater ease.
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand attachment needs, repair relational wounds, and make different choices in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thought-feeling-action loop and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a method used to process difficult or traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative, so plans can change as progress is made and needs evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use these approaches remotely to teach skills, process memories, and practice new ways of interacting, helping therapy fit into everyday routines rather than interrupting them.
