About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Missouri. She has worked in mental health for 15 years and earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas in 2019. Jenny has recent experience providing therapy in an acute setting and has supported people in residential care and intensive outpatient substance use programs.
She approaches therapy with a practical, person-first style. Jenny uses what clients already know and can do, and she guides them toward clear goals. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage symptoms, solve problems, and build on strengths rather than relying on one single method.
Jenny draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She combines techniques to fit each person’s needs, often focusing on coping skills, behavior changes, and realistic steps for daily life. This includes work on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, codependency, and related concerns.
Her background as a case manager shapes her view that environment and social supports matter. She pays attention to practical barriers and resources in a person’s life and helps them use those supports during treatment. Jenny emphasizes collaboration and keeps the person’s goals front and center.
Jenny welcomes people from many backgrounds and has experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and with people who have visible or invisible disabilities. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space and to help people find ways to live according to their values.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Jenny often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can lead to different outcomes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and many day-to-day problems.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be helpful for intense emotions, anger, mood instability, and impulses that feel hard to control.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenny will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in on a difficult day. It can also let people use different therapeutic tools that translate well to remote sessions, like thought records, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises that can be practiced between meetings.
