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 of licensed therapy experience. She completed her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas in 2019 and has fifteen years working in mental health roles including case management and acute care therapy. Jenny's listed concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency among others.
She describes her approach as practical and person-focused. Sessions use the client’s strengths and everyday resources. Jenny leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques when helpful. She prefers to get to know each person first, then match strategies to goals and life circumstances.
Her background includes work in a children’s residential care facility, an intensive outpatient substance abuse program, and acute clinical settings. That mix informs how she considers environment, social supports, and practical barriers when planning care. Jenny also reports experience supporting people from the LGBTQ+ community and those living with disabilities.
In practical terms she aims to guide rather than direct. Conversations focus on skill building, coping strategies, and steps that fit day-to-day life. People who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary setting, or living around others’ substance use or intense moods may find the focus relevant.
Sessions and scheduling follow the site's process for matching and booking. International clients who speak English are accepted. Cost varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and choices. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most to the client, then builds sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many forms of difficult coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenny will help clients try different strategies and decide what fits their goals and day-to-day life. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible for English-speaking international clients to connect with a Missouri-licensed clinician. Practical issues like quieter surroundings, bandwidth needs, or preferring not to use video can help guide which format to choose.
