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 a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and career or life-change struggles.
Jessica uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. She draws on approaches such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-based ideas, existential questions, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on helping people build coping skills, manage emotions, and address patterns that get in the way of everyday life.
She has worked with issues tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, codependency, eating and body image concerns, and caregiver stress. Jessica also addresses communication and commitment problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness that often follow major life transitions.
Her way of working is relational and active. She describes the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where therapist and client each take turns guiding the work. That may include teaching specific coping tools, practicing new ways of communicating, or using focused techniques to process traumatic memories.
Jessica practices from Utah and offers sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and format.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current trust and closeness. In sessions this can mean talking through relationship history and practicing different ways to connect and set boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and everyday stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a focused method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, typically used when past events keep affecting daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or adjusting things as the client learns what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a session can fit between classes or work shifts. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and EMDR-style processing to the remote setting while working together to find what feels manageable for the client.
