About Jessica
Jessica Paletta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Jessica also addresses family challenges and family of origin issues as part of her clinical work.
Her background includes helping parents of children with developmental delays and disabilities. She supports maternal mental health concerns and parenting stress. Jessica has worked with people facing trauma, grief, anger, addiction, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. That ongoing study informs how she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside practical strategies. She describes her practice as collaborative and respectful, focusing on each person’s goals and values.
In sessions she prioritizes clear communication and practical tools. Clients can expect conversation about current concerns, patterns that come from childhood, and step-by-step coping strategies. She aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions.
Jessica’s work emphasises understanding how family of origin patterns influence adult relationships and behavior. She also addresses attachment questions, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. Those areas are woven into her approach when relevant to a client’s goals.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work. One common approach involves skill-building strategies that teach concrete coping steps for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and anger. These techniques focus on practical exercises and brief assignments to practice between meetings.Another frequent element is exploring family patterns and attachment issues. This looks at how roles and expectations from childhood influence current relationships and behavior, and it helps people identify new ways of responding to old patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works collaboratively to pick what fits a person’s needs and goals. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and adjustments based on what is helping most. The therapist and client check in regularly to decide whether methods should be shifted or reinforced.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care around work, childcare, or medical appointments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for using phone-only meetings if bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Discussing practical preferences ahead of time helps set sessions up to work with everyday life.
