About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Missouri. She holds LSCSW and LCSW credentials and brings three years as a licensed therapist plus many prior years working in mental health roles. Jenny centers care on the person she’s meeting and aims to make therapy clear and practical.
She uses a straightforward, strengths-based style. Sessions focus on what is most important to each client and on small, usable steps forward.
Background and approach
Jenny draws on techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the work to each client’s needs. Her background includes case management, acute clinical therapy, residential care for children, and intensive outpatient substance use work.
That range shaped a practical approach to problems like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, and ADHD. Jenny also supports people coping with chronic illness, codependency, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and other mood or personality challenges. Jenny pays attention to a person’s environment and social supports when planning care.
She prefers collaborative work that builds on existing strengths and real-life resources. Sessions tend to be conversational, goal-focused, and paced to what feels doable for the individual. People who value a direct, compassionate listener may find her approach helpful.
She has experience working across cultures and within the LGBTQ+ community, and she welcomes clients who want practical tools alongside an empathic, steady presence.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping people find their own solutions and direction. This approach is useful for anyone who wants an empathetic listener and guidance toward practical goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems where small behavior changes make a difference.
Dialetical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are a recurring source of difficulty.
Jenny treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and real-life situation. That decision is adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video can support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of working to see what feels most helpful.
