Jenny Wright, LSCSW, LCSW

Jenny Wright is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing from Missouri. She has three years as a licensed therapist and a longer history in mental health roles, including case management and work in acute care, residential youth services, and substance use treatment. Jenny takes a committed, down-to-earth approach and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable.

She focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, stress, low self-esteem, and addictions. She also helps with trauma, grief, relationship strains, parenting concerns, anger, career stress, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Chronic illness, codependency, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, and other mood and personality issues are among her specialty areas.

Jenny leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she works alongside people to identify realistic goals and to build small, doable strategies that fit daily life. She emphasizes strengths clients already have and uses those as tools for change.

Her background as a case manager shapes how she considers a person’s environment and supports. That perspective helps when planning practical steps and accessing community resources. Jenny also brings experience from intensive outpatient and residential settings into her work.

People who appreciate straightforward, collaborative sessions tend to fit well with her style. She says she won’t judge differences in identity or ability and aims to help each person use their own resources to move toward better days.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Jenny uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small goals, trying new skills between sessions, and tracking what works to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting connection so clients can explore goals at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need help with intense emotions, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing an approach is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals and then try methods that fit. Progress is reviewed regularly and techniques are adjusted based on what helps in everyday life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging can suit those who prefer short, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules.
