Sharon Jenkins , LCSW, CSW

Sharon Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a CSW credential and 25 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She brings a strengths-based, client-centered, and solution-focused approach to work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, substance use concerns, and many other issues. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person as the expert on their own life, and she works to create a trusting environment where practical steps toward change can be taken.

Raised in North Carolina alongside three brothers, she earned degrees in Psychology and Clinical Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After relocating to Georgia she became licensed as an LCSW and has spent decades helping clients navigate stress, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma and abuse among other specialties. The CSW listed with her credentials indicates an additional social work qualification that complements her clinical license.

Outside of her professional life she values family, faith, and community. She is the parent of a young adult son who is a recent Air Force veteran, and she shares her home with two dogs and a cat. She enjoys walking and hiking, dining out, listening to music, and time at the beach. Clients describe her as calming, genuine, encouraging, and trustworthy, and she aims to partner with each person to help them meet their goals and manage life transitions.

Approaches That Shape Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical skills to live a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental stance, giving clients space to explore their goals while the therapist follows and supports their lead.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support even when in-person visits are not feasible.
