About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with three years as a licensed therapist and 15 years in mental health roles. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationships, trauma, grief, parenting, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sessions are described as collaborative and goal-focused.
Before licensure she spent many years as a case manager and in acute care settings. That history includes work in a children’s residential facility and an intensive outpatient program for substance use. Those roles shaped a practical, resource-aware outlook that informs her clinical work today.
Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. She uses the client’s existing strengths and real-life supports to guide decisions in session. Expect clear, concrete tools and skill practice rather than long theoretical explanations.
Jenny emphasizes the role of a person’s social environment and supports when addressing problems. She notes that improvements often come from changing habits, relationships, or daily routines as much as from changing thoughts.
She reports experience with diverse backgrounds, including work with LGBTQ+ people and those with visible or invisible disabilities. Her stated aim is to help clients use practical strategies to reduce distress and move toward the life they want.
If you are handling anger, stress, or mood struggles, she frames work as a partnership to identify useful steps and supports you can apply between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own priorities and strengths. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set goals based on what matters to them. This approach is often useful for building motivation and clarifying next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses short exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach ways to manage intense emotion, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerate distress. Those skills translate into simple practices that can be tried between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That can mean trying CBT strategies for mood and DBT skills for emotion regulation, or emphasizing motivational interviewing when change feels hard.
