About

About Sharon

Sharon Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Sharon aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, relationship strain, substance concerns, and parenting pressures.

With 25 years of experience, Sharon blends straightforward talk with gentle encouragement. She uses approaches that center the person and their strengths. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals, building skills, and finding small changes that add up.

Background and approach

Sharon trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning degrees in psychology and clinical social work. She later moved to Georgia and holds a Georgia LCSW. Her long career has included work with trauma, grief, mood disorders, and addiction-related issues.

Her style is client-centered and solution-focused. Sharon aims to be real and calming during sessions and to help clients identify the next practical step. She also draws on cognitive and behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and habits.

Outside of clinical work she values family, faith, and time outdoors. She is a parent of a young adult and enjoys hiking, music, and time at the beach. Pets are part of her life too, with two dogs and a cat.

Background and approach: Sharon believes people know their own lives best. She collaborates on goals and tailors methods to fit each person’s needs. Her toolbox includes acceptance and commitment ideas, emotionally-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation is needed.

The overall aim is clearer choices, improved coping, and steadier daily life.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help when stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding emotions and the needs beneath them to improve emotional connection and coping. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they can try a method and adjust it over time to better fit progress and changing needs. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or keep therapy running during busy schedules. These options help make consistent care more practical for people balancing parenting, work, and daily life.
