About Jessica
Jessica Katz is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 21 years of clinical experience based in Utah. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, and anger among other concerns. Jessica lists addictions, relationship and family matters, grief, intimacy-related issues, and ADHD as areas she addresses. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Jessica blends practical tools with relational work. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to examine thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her repertoire for trauma-related symptoms.
Her approach is described as interactive - sometimes the client leads, sometimes she guides. She aims to teach coping skills and help clients practice them until they feel more confident managing situations that used to trigger anger, anxiety, or impulsive responses. She uses direct conversation and structured exercises in session.
Jessica’s background includes practice in New York and Florida before relocating to Utah. Her work has included issues related to divorce, blended family dynamics, parental reunification and parental alienation. She also attends to concerns such as body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems.
Practical work in sessions can include skill building for emotion regulation, strategies for relationship communication, and trauma-focused protocols when appropriate. She frames therapy as a paced process that asks for patience and steady effort from both people in the room.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce reactive anger and improve daily coping. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions, helping people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings.She also includes EMDR for people whose anger or distress is tied to traumatic memories. EMDR uses guided processing to reduce the intensity of past memories so they interfere less with present functioning. These methods are applied with an emphasis on practical skill building and clearer communication in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and help determine which techniques to try first. That plan can change as you test tools and see what helps in day-to-day life.
