About Jessica

Jessica Katz is a licensed clinician with 21 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and the everyday challenges that disrupt well-being.

Background and approach

She practices from Utah and brings a compassionate, respectful stance to therapy, emphasizing patience and gradual progress as clients build skills to face grief, relationship strain, parenting struggles, ADHD-related concerns, and issues like substance use or disordered eating.

Her work blends practical interventions and depth-oriented exploration, drawing on approaches such as EMDR for trauma processing, cognitive behavioral techniques for shifting unhelpful patterns, and attachment-based perspectives for repairing relational wounds.

Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative rhythm - sometimes the client leads, sometimes the therapist does - aimed at teaching coping skills and fostering increased self-trust and resilience. She values humility, dignity, and kindness in the work and frames therapy as a process that unfolds over time.

Clients can expect a clinician who honors their courage in seeking help and who combines clinical tools with a human-centered approach. Jessica’s background across several states informs a flexible style that meets varied concerns including grief, family transitions, intimacy difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Approaches that guide online work and accessible care

Jessica integrates EMDR to help people process distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or problematic coping. Attachment-Based Therapy is also a key influence, focusing on relationship patterns and emotional bonds to help clients improve connection and reduce relational stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which approaches fit their goals, personal history, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan feels responsive and practical rather than fixed.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy routines or to continue work from different locations. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between longer sessions, and varied ways to engage with the therapeutic process depending on individual needs and comfort.
