About Tony
Tony Jenkins is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. He speaks plainly and makes space for people to say what they’re feeling. He encourages small steps and recognizes that starting therapy can feel hard.
He uses practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change how people respond to them. He also brings skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Background and approach
These tools are often paired with trauma-focused methods when past hurts affect daily life. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Tony works with each person to set clear, achievable steps and to track progress week to week.
People learn coping strategies they can use between appointments. His background includes a decade of professional experience in clinical settings, and he holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. That experience includes helping people with addiction issues, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship concerns.
Tony also offers attention to less common areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, kink and alternative sexual culture, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and multicultural issues. He aims to make therapy practical, direct, and focused on the problems people bring into the room.
Approaches that fit into online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by teaching clear techniques to test and change thinking patterns.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be useful for people who get overwhelmed by feelings or who want concrete strategies to stay steady in difficult moments.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how past events affect current reactions and relationships. It aims to reduce intrusive memories and improve how people cope with triggers, often working gently and at the client’s pace.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tony will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From there he tailors a plan and adjusts methods as progress is observed, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief problem-focused exchanges. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
