About Shelia

Shelia Ransom Jenkins is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of professional experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and depression. She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - reflecting advanced training and clinical licensure to provide mental health care.

Working with individuals and families, she creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Shelia helps clients identify practical coping strategies for life transitions, mood and panic symptoms, and relationship challenges, while also addressing issues related to attachment, abandonment, communication, and forgiveness.

Clients can expect a collaborative process in which the therapist offers support and empowerment as people take steps toward greater wellbeing. Shelia brings experience helping with trauma and abuse, social anxiety, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose, tailoring care to each person’s goals and preferences. Her practice welcomes those seeking a steady, compassionate guide through change and healing.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Shelia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and understanding to help people manage symptoms and improve relationships. One focus is skills-based work for anxiety and mood concerns, which teaches breathing and coping strategies, emotional regulation, and step-by-step tools for managing panic and worry. Another area of emphasis is trauma-informed support that helps people process past harm at a pace that feels manageable while building resilience and safety in daily life. Shelia also brings family-focused work to sessions when relationship patterns and communication are central to the concerns presented.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelia collaborates with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can attend sessions from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
