Tony Jenkins, LPC

Tony Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, mood challenges, and substance concerns. He aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can name their struggles and begin to make changes. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he acknowledges that courage in anyone who seeks support.

He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people build skills for day-to-day life. Sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. He also teaches emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that clients can try between meetings.

Tony brings about 10 years of professional experience to his practice and works with a range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood patterns, grief, and addiction-related issues. He also supports people navigating identity and relationship questions, including LGBT and non-monogamous relationship topics. His background includes work with trauma-focused and systems-oriented approaches.

In conversations he favors straightforward language and concrete steps rather than heavy clinical jargon. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on practical tools they can use outside sessions. If you want to explore whether his style fits your needs, the initial intake welcomes questions and shared decision making.

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal interactions. Those skills can help with anger, mood swings, and overwhelming moments.

Tony treats the choice of methods as a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend which approach or combination to try. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also use exercises, homework, and skill practice between meetings to keep momentum moving.
