About Jenny
Jenny Wright is an LSCSW and LCSW practicing in Missouri with three years licensed experience and a long history in mental health work. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract talk.
She completed a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas in 2019 and worked for many years in roles such as case manager, acute care therapist, residential care for children, and intensive outpatient treatment for substance use. That background informs how she looks at problems beyond symptoms - including supports, environment, and daily routines.
Jenny draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Client-Centered methods to listen and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are part of her toolbox for goal-focused work.
In sessions she prefers a straightforward, practical tone. She works with the person to identify small experiments, build on existing strengths, and track what helps. She pays attention to how a person’s supports and living situation affect progress.
Jenny has experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and people with visible and invisible disabilities. She encourages people from varied backgrounds to bring their perspectives to sessions. To start, she asks about current goals and what has or hasn’t worked so far.
How CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills translate online
Jenny uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to try small behavioral experiments to change routines and reactions. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, panic, and many everyday struggles where clear steps help reduce distress.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify goals and priorities. That approach helps when someone needs time to sort values, relationships, or career choices without pressure to follow a set plan immediately.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to teach concrete tools for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are often used for emotion regulation, anger, and coping with crisis moments.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jenny will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what is helpful.
