About

About Jenny

Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing out of Missouri. She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas in 2019 and brings three years of licenced therapy experience alongside many earlier years in mental health roles.

Jenny draws on long experience in case management, acute care therapy, residential care for children, and intensive outpatient work for substance use concerns.

Background and approach

She prefers plainspoken work in session. Jenny uses clients' strengths and practical tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, step-by-step strategies, and small changes that add up over time.

Her clinical approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques when they match a client's needs. Jenny describes her style as collaborative and strengths-oriented, helping people take the lead in their own progress.

Jenny has experience supporting people facing trauma, grief, addiction, chronic illness, and mood disorders. She has worked with diverse populations and with clients who identify as LGBTQ+ or live with visible and invisible disabilities. She emphasizes respect for each person's background and values.

People who prefer straightforward guidance, practical coping skills, and a focus on real-life supports tend to find her approach helpful. Jenny welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English.

Online support

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s needs. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so clients can set their own goals and make decisions that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships; it includes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness practices.

Choosing an approach is something to do together. The therapist will help identify which methods match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges emerge, and the therapist will adjust the plan collaboratively.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules or distance make in-person visits harder. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for flexible, on-the-go communication and can make it easier to check in between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy or changing routines.
