Jenny Wright , LSCSW, LCSW

Jenny Wright is a licensed clinical social worker based in Missouri who combines clinical training with a background in case management to support people facing a range of life challenges. She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas in 2019 and holds LSCSW and LCSW credentials - clinical social work licenses that indicate advanced training and authorization to provide therapy. She is recently licensed and has 3 years of experience as a practicing therapist.

Her professional path includes roles as a case manager and work in acute therapeutic settings, a children’s residential care facility, and an intensive outpatient substance abuse program. Those experiences contribute to a practical, strengths-based approach that draws on the tools clients already possess. She favors an eclectic, holistic style and is particularly skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, using these methods to help clients build skills and move toward meaningful goals.

Jenny emphasizes the role of environment and social supports in wellbeing and works collaboratively to tailor treatment to each person’s circumstances. She has experience working with people from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals with visible and invisible disabilities, and she approaches each person without judgment. She welcomes the opportunity to support those seeking change and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jenny integrates evidence-informed methods into online work, beginning with Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a collaborative, respectful relationship - this approach supports self-exploration and is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills training - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - it is especially helpful for substance use, behavior change, and building commitment to recovery.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jenny works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains focused and relevant. Online formats make that collaboration flexible and accessible by offering multiple ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face sessions, phone sessions when video is not feasible, and live chat or text-based messaging for shorter check-ins or when ongoing written support is preferred. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different circumstances while enabling consistent work with a licensed professional.
