Jessica Katz , LMHC, LPC

Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting struggles. She brings 21 years of experience and a calm, steady manner to each session. Jessica practices in Utah and offers online appointments to fit busy schedules.

She uses clear, practical techniques to help people manage everyday problems. Sessions focus on learning skills, processing painful memories when needed, and building better patterns in relationships. Jessica aims to make therapy feel like a partnership - sometimes leading, sometimes following - so clients gain confidence to handle challenges on their own.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, attachment concerns, and complicated family situations. She also works with people dealing with addiction, grief, anger, body image, and work or career stress. Jessica pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and to the practical steps people can take now.

Therapy may include cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, attachment-based work to repair relational patterns, and EMDR when processing trauma memories is appropriate. She blends these approaches to match each person’s needs and goals.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, teaching of coping skills, and steady support through difficult changes. Jessica encourages patience and self-compassion as people practice new ways of relating and managing feelings.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating. It is useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and many family or relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem solving in daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, can be used when people need to process traumatic memories that keep causing distress. It aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so daily functioning improves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica treats therapy as a collaboration and will help weigh options based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to build therapy into a busy life.
