Tony Jenkins, LPC

Tony Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and trauma. He speaks plainly and focuses on making the first steps feel manageable for someone who may be nervous about starting therapy.

Tony builds a calm space where people can talk about hard things without judgment. He listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviors and works with clients to set clear, doable goals. His sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.

He often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and trauma-focused techniques when past events keep affecting daily life. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to help people understand different parts of themselves.

Over ten years of work in counseling settings gives him a range of experience with issues like addiction, grief, ADHD, anger, relationship concerns, and sexual culture topics such as kink and polyamory. He also supports those processing domestic violence, infidelity, guilt, shame, and multicultural stressors.

Tony offers sessions by video, phone, chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect someone to his practice.

How specific approaches work online and why they may help

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more helpful responses. Online CBT sessions can include homework, thought records, and short skill practices that people use between meetings to track progress.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for regulating emotions, reducing crisis behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills translate well to video or phone sessions where the therapist can teach and coach in real time and clients can practice between contacts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then tailor a plan that may blend CBT, DBT, trauma-focused methods, or Internal Family Systems ideas as needed. Clients help decide which tools feel most useful for their lives.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper weekly sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share updates or get brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping focus on practical skill-building.
