About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Missouri. She has three years as a licensed therapist and more than a decade of prior work in mental health roles such as case management and acute care.
Jenny completed her Master’s in Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2019 and brings varied experience from residential and outpatient settings.
Background and approach
Jenny focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She listens first, then works with people to set clear goals. Sessions emphasize the strengths someone already has and build step-by-step skills to manage worries, difficult moods, and day-to-day stressors.
She aims to be a steady guide rather than the expert who decides everything. Her background includes work in children’s residential care, intensive outpatient substance abuse programs, and acute treatment settings. That range informs how she helps with issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, phobias, and mood disorders.
She also addresses chronic pain, codependency, OCD symptoms, and challenges related to parenting or career changes. Jenny draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Therapy. She adapts techniques to match each person’s life and goals, choosing straightforward tools a person can use between sessions.
Her approach is holistic and pragmatic. People who want respectful, nonjudgmental support may find her style a good fit. She notes experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and people with disabilities.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
How specific approaches are used in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It emphasizes understanding a person’s perspective and shaping sessions around their goals, which helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear, practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood instability and overwhelming reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable in daily life. That choice can shift as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions can fit a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs.
