About Sharon Jenkins

Sharon Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges and substance use. She blends a strengths-based, client-centered, solution-focused approach with practical tools drawn from evidence-informed therapies. Sharon holds credentials as an LCSW and CSW - LCSW meaning Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW indicating a clinical social work credential - and she practices in Georgia.

Raised in North Carolina alongside three brothers, Sharon earned degrees in Psychology and Clinical Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before relocating to Georgia and completing licensure. Over a quarter-century of practice has given her broad experience addressing issues such as grief, addictions, family conflict, parenting concerns, trauma and a range of mood and behavioral difficulties, including ADHD and bipolar-related challenges.

Outside of her professional life Sharon values faith, family and friendship. She is the parent of a young adult son who is an Air Force veteran, and she shares her home with two dogs and a cat. She enjoys walking and hiking, dining out and listening to music, and she especially loves the beach. Her clients report that she is calming, genuine, encouraging and trustworthy, and she approaches each therapeutic relationship believing that the person she works with is the expert on their own life. If chosen as a therapist, Sharon partners with clients to identify goals and to move toward meaningful change together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharon frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters most - it can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect and collaboration, creating a space where individuals are supported in exploring their own goals and strengths. CBT provides practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and she tailors techniques from different modalities to fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from home or elsewhere. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care and make it easier to engage in therapy around work, family and other commitments, while still focusing on effective therapeutic work with a trained therapist.
