About Jessica

Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong feelings and life changes. She brings 21 years of experience and a straightforward style to sessions. Jessica works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns.

She listens first and then offers practical steps that match each person's situation. Sessions often focus on building skills to handle intense emotions, improving communication, and slowly changing patterns that cause pain.

Background and approach

Jessica uses a mix of approaches so work can move at a comfortable pace. Her background includes practice in New York and Florida before relocating to Utah. That long experience means she has supported people through trauma, attachment difficulties, disordered eating, ADHD-related struggles, and separation or divorce issues.

She also works with people facing career shifts, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness. Therapy here is collaborative. Jessica describes the relationship as a dance where sometimes the client leads and sometimes she does.

She teaches coping tools, guides through uncomfortable growth, and helps people take small steps toward feeling steadier. She brings a respectful, compassionate approach shaped by her personal values and professional training. Clients who want straightforward guidance, skill-building, and steady support may find this style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online work with this approach looks at patterns in relationships and teaches new ways to connect and set boundaries, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions Jessica guides clients through simple exercises and practical homework to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve mood.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories so they feel less disruptive. In telehealth this involves guided sets of attention or movement while you recall memories, helping reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process makes it easier to find a pathway that fits your needs and pace.

Online therapy gives flexible options for scheduling and communication. Video calls allow face-to-face work and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler, lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or between-session support. These formats let people fit therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward.
