About Sharon
Sharon Jenkins is a Georgia-based licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, trauma, and a broad range of life concerns. She emphasizes a client-centered, strengths-based style that invites collaboration and practical problem solving.
Background and approach
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-oriented and emotionally focused methods to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Sharon draws on a long career in clinical social work and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW with Georgia registration GA LCSW CSW001415.
She aims to create a steady therapeutic presence and to work in ways that feel real and supportive for clients facing grief, parenting struggles, intimacy issues, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness, ADHD, career transitions, and other stressors. Sessions integrate tools for coping with intense emotions, improving communication, and building daily skills to reduce distress.
Outside of practice she values family, faith, and time outdoors, and brings a calm, encouraging manner to the therapeutic relationship. Prospective clients who want a collaborative, practical therapist who listens and helps identify achievable steps may find her style a good match.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often focuses on skills that people can apply between sessions to manage anxiety, depression, or compulsive behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes values-guided action and accepting difficult internal experiences while building psychological flexibility and commitment to meaningful goals. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered elements inform her work by strengthening a supportive therapeutic relationship and helping clients explore important emotions and relational patterns.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust approaches based on what feels most effective and comfortable for the client. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to an individual's needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.
Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or other convenient settings. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, practice skills in daily life, and maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT techniques to these channels so clients can work on coping skills, emotional regulation, and problem solving across different session types.
