About Jessica
Jessica Paletta is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-based support. She uses plain, workable strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, parenting strain, and grief. Jessica brings seven years of clinical experience to each session and works from Utah.
She has considerable experience supporting parents caring for children with developmental delays and disabilities. That work has also included maternal mental health concerns, parenting stress, and the everyday pressures of family life.
Background and approach
These experiences shape how she listens and responds in sessions. Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. Graduate study keeps her current with research and helps her pair academic findings with everyday approaches people can use between sessions.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Clients work with her to build a plan that fits their goals, values, and practical realities. She focuses on simple skills you can try right away to reduce overwhelm and regain control.
Sessions aim to help people develop steady coping skills for life changes, sleep problems, addictions, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment and adoption-related concerns, blended family issues, body image, codependency, and family-of-origin patterns. Jessica offers sessions that match different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
That flexibility makes it easier to add therapy into a busy schedule. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Approaches that guide online care
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on approaches that teach concrete skills. One common approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce intense emotions and manage anger. It helps people notice triggers, practice calming actions, and build new routines that limit harmful reactions.Another approach centers on family and attachment patterns, helping clients understand relationship dynamics and communication habits. This method is useful for parenting stress, blended family issues, and family-of-origin concerns because it clarifies patterns and offers direct ways to respond differently.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try methods that feel realistic and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing or need quick support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules.
