About Jenny
Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Missouri. She has three years as a licensed therapist and more than a decade of prior work in mental health roles. Jenny completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2019 and brings experience from acute care, residential youth programs, and intensive outpatient substance use treatment.
She favors an approachable, person-centered style. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and strengths, with the therapist guiding and supporting progress rather than directing it. Jenny emphasizes using practical tools clients already have and building new skills together to address day-to-day challenges.
Her background as a social worker and former case manager shapes how she looks at problems. She pays attention to a person’s environment and their support systems. That means talking about real-life factors like home, work, and relationships that affect wellbeing.
Jenny draws from several therapy methods when helpful, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when appropriate to the client’s needs.
She welcomes people from varied backgrounds and has experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and those living with visible and invisible disabilities. Her approach is nonjudgmental and focused on practical steps toward a better everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore what matters to you and to strengthen your own reasons for change. It’s useful for tackling addictions, habit changes, and situations where motivation feels stuck.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings or make decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in between appointments when needed. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when that better suits the client’s day. -
