About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (KS LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri (MO LCSW) with three years of licensed practice and about 15 years working in mental health roles. She completed a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2019. Jenny has experience as a case manager and as a therapist in acute care settings, and she has worked in children’s residential care and intensive outpatient substance use programs.
She tends to keep things practical in therapy. She focuses on what a person already has and how to use those strengths. Sessions are collaborative and action-oriented, with the client directing goals while Jenny offers guidance and tools.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and career or life changes. She also notes additional focus on chronic pain and illness, codependency, obsessive and compulsive problems, panic and phobias, mood and personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Jenny uses several established methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That mix lets her adapt to practical problems and emotional pain alike.
She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Jenny highlights supporting people who live with visible and invisible disabilities. Her approach emphasizes environmental and social supports as part of recovery and everyday coping.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so the person sets goals and priorities. It helps people who need a respectful space to sort out decisions and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. CBT offers practical exercises and steps for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues arise, and collaboration guides which tools are used.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can be scheduled during a lunch break, or sessions can avoid travel time when days are full. Remote sessions also allow continued work after changes in location, which helps when people are juggling jobs, caregiving, or medical appointments.
