Jenny Wright, LSCSW, LCSW

Jenny Wright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Missouri who brings a long history of mental health work to her therapeutic approach. She holds the credentials LSCSW and LCSW - both clinical social work licenses - and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2019. Although she is a recently licensed therapist, she has spent the last 15 years working in various roles across the mental health field.

Her professional background includes substantial experience as a case manager and more recent work providing therapy in an acute care setting. Earlier roles include work at a children’s residential care facility and at an intensive outpatient substance abuse program, giving her direct experience supporting clients across the lifespan and through complex clinical presentations.

She practices from a holistic, strengths-based perspective that emphasizes the role of a person’s environment and social supports in overall wellbeing. Her approach is eclectic and flexible, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques, mindfulness strategies, and trauma-focused interventions. She centers clients as the primary drivers of change and helps them apply their existing strengths and tools toward reaching personal goals.

Wright has experience working with diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. She is a strong advocate for individuals with visible and invisible disabilities and brings a nonjudgmental, supportive stance to issues related to identity, addiction, trauma, grief, relationships, and mood disorders. She offers therapy in English and emphasizes collaboration, practical skill-building, and adapting interventions to each person’s unique circumstances.
