Mary Jo Greenwood, LCSW

Mary Jo Greenwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - with 21 years of clinical experience and a master of social work degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha earned in 2002. Based in a rural area of Wyoming, she developed a broad clinical background by working with diverse populations across settings from psychiatric inpatient units to group homes, crisis centers, and outpatient counseling services.

She has extensive experience in the child welfare and juvenile systems, including work with abused and neglected children and their parents. Her practice has also included supporting people affected by addiction, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and mood disorders. She is particularly experienced in addressing depression, anxiety - including presentations such as OCD and sleep disorders - and unhealthy or abusive relationship patterns, as well as family and couples concerns.

Mary Jo approaches care through a trauma-informed lens and attends to the whole person rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms. Her clinical style is eclectic and client-driven, drawing from evidence-informed methods such as attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, narrative and solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused therapies. She collaborates with people to develop treatment plans that adapt as needs evolve.

Her professional background also includes work with military veterans and experience navigating aspects of the VA disability process, which informs practical guidance for clients involved with VA systems. Friends describe her as "The most approachable person in the room," and she has worked with people who began counseling through messaging and gradually moved to phone and video formats as their comfort grew. Over years of long-term work she has supported people in making meaningful changes and improving daily quality of life.
