About Jessica

Jessica Paletta is a licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of experience to family and parenting concerns. She focuses on helping parents and families through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and grief. Jessica combines practical strategies with steady support so parents can manage hard moments and find clearer routines.

She has worked closely with parents of children who have developmental delays and disabilities. That experience shapes how she talks through everyday parenting stress and maternal mental health concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. That ongoing study keeps her practice connected to current research and evidence-based techniques.

She uses what she learns to tailor help to each family’s needs. Her style is collaborative and respectful. Sessions focus on short-term practical tools and on building long-term coping skills.

Jessica aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for busy parents. She provides care from Utah and offers sessions in English. Her credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and CSW, with licensing details recorded as ID LCSW LCSW-44320 and CO LCSW CSW.09932399.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Family Support

Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on skill-building for emotion regulation and stress management - teaching simple strategies families can use when anxiety or anger flares. Another approach emphasizes attachment and relationship work, helping parents improve communication and strengthen bonds with children and other caregivers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your priorities and try methods that fit your family’s needs, goals, and daily life. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques so they feel useful and realistic at home.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to get support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules are tight, phone sessions can work when hands-on caregiving is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can keep guidance available between appointments. These options make it easier to work on parenting and family issues without lengthy travel or time away from daily responsibilities.
