About Jenny

Jenny Wright is a licensed social worker based in Missouri who blends clinical training with practical mental health experience.

Background and approach

She holds LSCSW and LCSW credentials and completed a Master’s in Social Work in 2019, following many years working in roles such as case manager, acute care therapist, residential children’s care, and intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment. Those varied settings inform her understanding of how environment and supports shape wellbeing.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and strength-based work, helping clients marshal their existing resources while introducing new skills. She draws on a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solutions-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing, and adapts methods to fit each person’s goals.

Her practice reflects a holistic perspective that accounts for social context, relationships, and practical life stressors. Jenny is open to clients from diverse backgrounds and has experience with LGBTQ+ individuals and people with visible and invisible disabilities.

She aims to guide clients toward meaningful changes by combining evidence-informed methods with respect for each person’s unique circumstances and values.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Jenny integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps clients explore their readiness for change and build internal motivation, which can support goals related to addiction, lifestyle shifts, and treatment engagement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with clients to determine which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time as needs evolve. The emphasis is on practical strategies and client strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from varied locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stressors, and practice skills between sessions with the therapist's guidance.
