About Jenny

Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing out of Missouri. She brings three years as a licensed therapist and a longer history in mental health work. Jenny draws on practical experience from acute care, residential youth services, intensive outpatient substance abuse programs, and case management.

She writes plainly and meets people where they are, focusing on real-life supports and day-to-day tools.

Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She centers the person’s goals and encourages clients to use the skills and supports they already have. Sessions are guided by what the client wants to change, with the therapist offering structure and options rather than one fixed method.

Jenny uses a mix of methods to fit different needs. She often relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused ideas, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices. She explains techniques in simple terms and practices skills together in session so clients can try them between meetings.

Because of her background as a social worker and case manager, she pays attention to a person’s environment and supports outside therapy. That includes practical problem solving around stress, caregiving, work, or health challenges. She also brings experience supporting people affected by addiction and trauma.

Jenny works with issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, relationship and family strain, parenting stresses, ADHD, and chronic illness. She aims to help people find clearer steps forward and more confidence handling life’s demands.

Approaches that work well online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s goals and supporting them without judgment. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships through clear skills practice.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jenny will listen to concerns, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process means clients help shape the plan and try techniques at a comfortable pace.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats let people connect from home, handle follow-up questions between meetings, and use short check-ins when needed. The variety of options supports flexibility while still allowing focused skill work and real-time support.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
