About Sharon

Sharon Jenkins is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and substance use. She practices from a strengths-based, client-centered, and solution-focused perspective, helping clients identify goals and build practical skills to move forward. Sharon holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW indicates Clinical Social Work training - and she combines clinical training with a calm, encouraging presence to foster trusting therapeutic relationships.

Raised in North Carolina with 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 becoming licensed to practice. Over her lengthy career she has worked with adults and families on a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career difficulties, and many other life transitions.

Outside of work she values faith, family, and close friendships. Her greatest blessing is her young adult son, a recent Air Force veteran. She shares her home with two dogs and a cat, and enjoys walking, hiking, dining out, listening to music, and spending time at the beach. Clients have described her as calming, genuine, encouraging, and trustworthy, and she approaches each partnership with respect for the client as the expert in their own life. It would be an honor for Sharon to support someone on their healing journey if the fit and timing are right.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharon integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT helps clients clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, and it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy, which supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with change. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches as appropriate so therapy feels responsive and practical.

Online therapy in Sharon’s practice can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, which can help people maintain momentum in their work toward personal goals.
