About Tony

Tony Jenkins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who offers support for people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, and relationship or self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With 10 years of clinical experience, he aims to create an open environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Tony emphasizes practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting to help clients move forward.

His work draws on evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to address mood disorders, grief, ADHD, and complex presentations such as polyamory-related issues, multicultural concerns, and alternative sexual cultures. Tony also supports people navigating challenges like isolation, forgiveness, infidelity, and recovery from domestic violence.

He encourages prospective clients to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and to view the process as a partnership focused on meaningful change.

How targeted approaches translate to online therapy

Online sessions with Tony commonly draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is also used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process traumatic experiences with attention to safety and paced exposure when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tony works with clients to clarify goals, review what has helped or hindered in the past, and tailor methods to fit individual needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single route up front. This helps ensure the strategies used feel relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier for people in Georgia to access consistent support without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into busy lives while maintaining regular therapeutic momentum.
