Jessica Katz

Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor with over two decades of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related struggles. Jessica writes plainly and meets people with respect and compassion. Jessica draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered work. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies and existential ideas to help people make clearer choices and find meaning. Sessions focus on learning practical coping skills and slowly building confidence to manage hard moments. Her style is collaborative - she describes therapy as a kind of dance where sometimes the client leads and sometimes she guides. That approach means clients may try new ways of responding in session and at home. Jessica emphasizes patience, steady practice, and kindness toward oneself as change unfolds. She has worked across multiple states and brings 21 years of clinical experience to each consultation. Her background includes supporting people through grief, divorce and blended family dynamics, attachment concerns, disordered eating, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other issues. Jessica practices in Utah and uses straightforward language in sessions. She approaches faith as a personal value and aims to meet each person where they are, without judgment. The work focuses on skill building and emotional growth that can be used in daily life.

Approaches that translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult events and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life by using structured techniques to address symptoms and build coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on building safer, more reliable ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using active listening and empathy to help people make choices that fit their values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and needs. Together they try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also can let people use audio-only options when video is not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused and attachment interventions to remote sessions while focusing on pacing, grounding skills, and practical at-home exercises to support ongoing progress.
