About Jessica

Jessica Paletta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience based in Utah. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, parenting strain, depression, and issues like codependency and addictions. Jessica also supports people facing trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.

She has worked extensively with parents of children who have developmental delays and disabilities. That work informs how she supports maternal mental health and parenting stress. She uses practical approaches to help people manage day-to-day challenges and intense moments.

Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. Her ongoing studies keep her connected to current research and evidence-based techniques. She blends research-informed methods with straightforward, real-world strategies clients can use between sessions.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying goals, and building skills to handle stress, set boundaries, and improve communication. She helps people sort through family-of-origin issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and attachment-related struggles.

Clients can expect direct, practical conversation about what’s causing strain and what might help. Jessica pays attention to the specifics of parenting, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to autism or Asperger Syndrome. Her work addresses self-esteem, body image, commitment issues, and the ripple effects of family problems.

How sessions work

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Many of Jessica's approaches draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and patterns people can use in daily life. One common approach uses structured skill-building to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, grounding, and activity planning; this helps when symptoms make it hard to get through the day. Another approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns to identify people-pleasing, boundary problems, and codependent behaviors, then practices new ways of communicating and saying no.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That means trying a technique, checking how it fits, and adjusting the plan together based on what helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also makes it possible to continue care while managing parenting demands or caregiver schedules. Talk with Jessica about which session structure would fit your routine and goals.
