About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and life changes. She brings 21 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. Jessica aims to help clients build skills they can use outside of therapy.
She works from Utah and holds the LMHC and LPC credentials. Jessica focuses on attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family struggles.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing depression, grief, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and body image problems. Her background includes work with people affected by separation and divorce, reunification and parental alienation, and caregiver stress. In sessions she blends attachment-based thinking with cognitive-behavioral tools and client-centered listening.
She may also use EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate and the client and therapist agree it fits the goals. Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where control shifts between client and therapist as skills are learned. She values meeting people with humility, dignity, and compassion, and draws on a faith perspective when it feels relevant to the person.
The work often focuses on practical coping skills, communication strategies, and building safer, more fulfilling relationships. Clients can expect steady, patient guidance and direct teaching of skills. The pace can vary depending on what comes up in sessions, and the aim is to help people regain a sense of resilience and agency in daily life.

Online support
How attachment thinking and practical therapy work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice connection habits, make different choices, and build safer ways of relating. This approach often helps with abandonment, attachment issues, and repeating relationship struggles.Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens with curiosity and follows the client’s lead while offering reflections and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Online formats allow flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they want deeper emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
