About Jessica

Jessica Paletta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) with seven years of clinical experience based in Utah. She focuses on common and acute struggles such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, trauma and anger. Jessica also supports people dealing with sleep problems, addiction concerns, self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes extensive work with parents caring for children who have developmental delays and disabilities. She has also supported people with maternal mental health concerns and clients facing suicidal ideation. Those roles have shaped the practical way she works with overwhelming moments and high-stress situations.

Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University, which she says helps keep her practice informed by current research. She combines clinical knowledge with what people bring from daily life to create treatment plans that match real goals.

Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and collaboration. Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies and on talking through what is getting in the way day to day. She works with each person to set realistic steps and monitor progress over time.

People who reach out are usually looking for straightforward support when stress or anger is affecting relationships, parenting, or work. Jessica aims to help people gain tools, new perspectives, and practical habits to manage difficult feelings and move forward.

How sessions work

Therapeutic techniques and working online

Jessica integrates evidence-based approaches into straightforward work you can use day to day. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different ways of responding to stressful situations; this helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood by changing moment-to-moment reactions. Another approach emphasizes skill building for parenting and relationship interactions, teaching concrete communication and coping strategies to reduce conflict and overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and the challenges they face. She adjusts plans as progress is made and as needs change so the work stays practical and focused.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in everyday settings and carry changes into daily life more quickly.
