Jessica Paletta, LCSW, CSW

Jessica Paletta, LCSW, CSW, holds a Utah license and has seven years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and describes her work as collaborative and respectful.

Paletta has substantial experience supporting parents of children with developmental delays and disabilities. She also has experience addressing maternal mental health concerns and parenting stress. These roles have shaped how she talks with clients about practical coping skills and daily challenges.

She is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University, which informs her use of current research in practice. That training influences how she blends practical strategies with attention to life context.

Her approach emphasizes sensitivity and collaboration. Sessions focus on identifying goals, building concrete skills, and applying those skills to real situations. She works with people to make small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Common areas of focus include attachment and adoption-related concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She also addresses co-morbidity, codependency, commitment issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, and autism-related concerns.

Paletta frames therapy as a practical process. She helps people develop tools for coping with life changes, improving relationships, and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented.
