Tony Jenkins

Tony Jenkins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, trauma, and mood-related concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step easier for someone who is worried about asking for help.

Tony keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He encourages people to say what they are feeling and thinking, and he listens without judgment. The goal is to create space to talk through strong emotions and find small changes that make daily life easier.

In sessions he draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and patterns that cause distress. He uses strategies that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills for managing intense emotions, and work through the aftermath of traumatic events.

He has ten years of professional experience in the field and holds the LPC credential. That background includes work with a range of concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, and self-esteem issues, as well as diversity-focused topics like LGBT concerns and multicultural issues.

Tony also offers support around more specific areas including ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, relationship and family stress, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and sexual or kink-related matters. He encourages people to start with a brief matching questionnaire so sessions can be shaped to their needs and goals.

How CBT, DBT, and trauma work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes that reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns and emphasizes practical exercises between sessions.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process past traumatic events and the ways those experiences affect present-day reactions. This work aims to reduce trauma-related symptoms and help people regain day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That way sessions focus on the strategies that seem most useful for the problem at hand.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or evenings. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from their area without changing their normal schedule.
