About Sharon

Sharon Jenkins, LCSW, CSW, centers her practice on helping people who are ready to address stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship struggles, and a broad range of life challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

She uses a collaborative, strengths-based stance that honors each person's experience while guiding them toward practical steps for change. With 25 years of clinical experience in Georgia, Sharon combines warmth and directness to create a therapeutic space that encourages honest exploration and steady progress.

Her work draws on well-established methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered practices. Sharon emphasizes partnership in therapy - she listens for values and goals, then helps clients build skills and strategies tailored to their situation.

Outside of her professional life she values family, faith, and time outdoors, and brings a grounded, approachable manner to sessions. Those who choose her can expect a practitioner who is experienced, pragmatic, and committed to helping them move toward meaningful change.

How Sharon Integrates Therapy Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and for people who want a values-driven way to manage ADHD-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for mood, anxiety, sleep, and coping with everyday obstacles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques from these models to fit each person’s situation rather than applying a single method rigidly. Clients are involved in shaping the plan and choosing which strategies to emphasize.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility that complements this work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments and allow ongoing access to skills coaching and check-ins between live visits. This variety of formats supports consistent progress while accommodating different communication preferences and schedules.
