About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (KS LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MO LCSW) practicing from Missouri. She has three years as a licensed therapist and more than a decade of prior work in mental health roles. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar, addictions, relationship and family problems, parenting, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and related issues.
She approaches work in a down-to-earth way. Sessions focus on what the person already knows and the practical steps they can take next. Jenny draws on client-centered work and goal-focused techniques so people set and test realistic changes between sessions.
Her background includes case management, inpatient and acute care, a children’s residential facility, and intensive outpatient substance use treatment. That mix informs how she looks at a person’s supports and surroundings when planning treatment. She also notes experience with LGBTQ+ clients and with people who live with visible and invisible disabilities.
In session she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness tools. That lets her help with symptoms, coping skills, and decision points that come up in family or parenting roles.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, practical skill-building, and an emphasis on using strengths already present. To begin, the usual step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist helps people name what matters most and supports their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks big problems into smaller parts by linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help with intense emotions, relationship stress, and parenting strain.Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. Jenny will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels doable. That means testing techniques and adjusting the plan over time rather than sticking to one method from the start.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They also let people use mindfulness practices or worksheet exercises between meetings. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions align with your routine.
