Sharon Jenkins is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 25 years of experience to her therapeutic practice in Georgia. She offers practical, strengths-based support for people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and substance use, working in a client-centered, solution-focused way that prioritizes each person's goals and values.

Raised in North Carolina with three brothers, she earned degrees in Psychology and Clinical Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before relocating to Georgia and becoming licensed as an LCSW. Her credentials include LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW (Clinical Social Worker). Sharon draws on a blend of clinical training and real-world experience to help clients identify obstacles and chart achievable steps forward.

Outside of her work she values family, faith, and close friendships. She is a parent of a young adult son who is an Air Force veteran and shares her home with two dogs and a cat. She enjoys walking and hiking, dining out, listening to music, and spending time at the beach. Clients say she is calming, genuine, encouraging, and trustworthy. Sharon views clients as experts on their own lives and collaborates with them to pursue meaningful change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharon Jenkins draws on several well-established approaches to help clients build skills and make meaningful change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take flexible action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, often used for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes collaboration and empathy, giving clients space to explore their experience while the therapist offers support and validation.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Sharon works with clients to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and to continue therapeutic work from home, work, or other convenient locations.
