About Jessica

Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, addiction, and relationship turmoil. She writes plainly and meets each person where they are, offering steady guidance and practical skills. Jessica brings 21 years of experience and describes therapy as a collaborative process where both people take turns leading the work.

Her approach balances clear problem-solving with deeper meaning work. She uses Existential Therapy to help people face life’s big questions and regain a sense of purpose.

Background and approach

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, and Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. Sessions often include concrete skill-building for anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with life changes.

For trauma and difficult memories she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, guiding clients through structured techniques while staying attuned to emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Jessica emphasizes patience, kindness, and gradual progress.

She describes the therapeutic relationship as a dance that can feel uncomfortable at times, and she helps people practice coping skills until they can lead their own next steps. Her style blends empathy with clear direction so clients can feel supported while making real change. Based in Utah, she brings long-term clinical experience from multiple states to online formats and in-person work.

People who want a compassionate, practical guide for both immediate problems and deeper life questions may find her approach helpful.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Existential Therapy invites clients to look at meaning, values, and life direction. In sessions this means honest conversations about purpose, choice, and what matters now, which can help when coping with emptiness, grief, or major life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how they show up now. Online sessions use this lens to notice communication habits and build more supported ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, symptoms, and personal preference. Sessions may shift between deeper reflection and hands-on skills depending on what feels most useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging works for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.
