01About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed counselor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, grief, or life transitions. She speaks plainly and works to create a steady, practical way forward for people who are tired of surviving and want to begin coping better.
With 21 years in the field, she blends practical talking and skill-building with deeper work on attachment and meaning. Sessions include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and a focus on relationships that shaped current patterns.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when that fits a person's needs. Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a kind of dance where sometimes the client leads and sometimes the therapist does. She guides people through uncomfortable moments, teaches coping skills, and helps clients practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Progress is viewed as gradual and earned through practice. Her background includes work in multiple states and many kinds of life challenges, including addiction, disordered eating, attachment concerns, and parenting stress. That range informs a flexible approach aimed at real-life changes rather than abstract talk alone.
Jessica brings a respectful and compassionate stance to sessions and encourages patience and self-kindness as part of recovery and growth. She works in English and is based in Utah as a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor.

04Online support
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to look at those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it is a hands-on method that maps well to video or messaging formats for homework and skill practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method for processing distressing memories and can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then suggest what to try first. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust methods over time so the work stays useful and aligned with each person's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and real-time interaction. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to continue therapy from different locations.
