About Jessica
Jessica Katz is a licensed mental health counselor with 21 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She practices in Utah and draws on a range of approaches to support coping and recovery. Jessica writes plainly and meets people with respect and compassion.
Jessica uses practical, hands-on work in sessions. She describes the therapeutic relationship as a dance - sometimes the client leads, sometimes she does. That means she will teach skills for coping, then help clients practice until they can use those skills on their own. She emphasizes patience, trust, and kindness toward oneself during the process.
Her background includes long clinical experience across several states, with work in areas such as childhood trauma, attachment issues, disordered eating, ADHD, mood concerns, anger, and substance use. Jessica also has experience helping people through divorce, blended family challenges, reunification, and parental alienation.
Her approach blends techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral methods, existential ideas, and EMDR. She adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions focus on concrete coping skills, exploration of personal meaning, and targeted strategies for symptom relief.
Jessica brings a values-informed stance to therapy and aims to create a respectful environment. She encourages people to keep going even when the work feels hard, and to notice progress as new skills take hold. Reaching out for help is framed as an act of courage and the start of change.
