About Jessica

Jessica Paletta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of practice. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, parenting pressures, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain such as codependency. Jessica aims to listen first and help clients find clear next steps.

Her background includes working with parents of children who have developmental delays and disabilities, and supporting maternal mental health concerns. That experience informs how she approaches parenting stress, attachment challenges, and caregiver strain. She combines compassion with straightforward guidance.

Jessica is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. That ongoing study helps her bring current research into sessions and shape flexible, evidence-informed approaches for each person.

In sessions she focuses on collaboration. She works with each person to set realistic goals and practical strategies that fit daily life. Sessions often include skill-building for coping, communication, and managing emotions.

People come to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, addictions, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports concerns like body image, commitment worries, blended family dynamics, and the effects of domestic violence. Jessica aims to make progress feel manageable, one step at a time.

How Jessica brings evidence-informed care online

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and applies them in clear, hands-on ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step planning to reduce overwhelm. Another area emphasizes attachment-focused work and parenting support, helping caregivers improve communication, set boundaries, and manage the everyday demands of caregiving.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jessica works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, values, and daily realities. She reviews what’s working and adjusts plans over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by making it easier to join from different locations and reducing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and make it simpler to continue care during transitions. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking to learn how meetings are scheduled and delivered.
