Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Social Worker
Jenny Wright integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet each person where they are. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and helping the individual identify their own goals and values, which can be especially helpful for people navigating identity, relationships, and life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often supporting work with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses motivational interviewing when clients need help resolving ambivalence and finding internal motivation for change, an approach that can be useful for substance use, habit change, and readiness-based goals. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Jenny partners with each person to explore which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how care happens, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reach people who live far from in-person services, and maintain continuity of care across life transitions. Licensed professionals adapt these methods to provide structured, goal-oriented support in ways that work for each individual.
