Jessica Katz, LMHC, LPC

Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strains, and life transitions. She has 21 years of experience and practices from Utah. Jessica aims to meet people with respect, humility, and compassion as they start difficult work.

She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That includes ways of looking at how early relationships shape current patterns, practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and techniques for working through painful memories. Jessica describes the work as a collaborative process where the therapist and client take turns guiding the work.

Her style is straightforward and steady. She teaches skills for coping, then supports practice until clients feel ready to use them independently. Sessions may involve learning new ways to communicate, managing strong emotions, or developing routines that reduce anxiety and increase balance.

Jessica also addresses concerns such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, body image, codependency, and caregiver stress. She has experience with attachment issues, adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and recovery from abandonment experiences.

Clients can expect a mix of practical strategies and deeper therapeutic exploration. The therapist emphasizes patience, trust, and self-kindness as part of the healing process. Jessica frames progress as gradual, with moments of discomfort that often lead to meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries that reduce anxiety and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. In virtual sessions this often means setting short practice tasks between meetings and reviewing how those changes affect mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit their needs. Choices are revisited as progress is made so the plan can change over time.

If you are considering online care, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support steady work on habits, thought patterns, and trauma processing while keeping the focus on practical skills and emotional processing.
