About Tony

Tony Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, he emphasizes building a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and begin to make meaningful changes. Tony invites clients to take that initial step toward therapy and acknowledges the courage it takes to seek support.

His work draws from evidence-based methods including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused approaches. These modalities inform a flexible practice that attends to symptoms like depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, and post-traumatic stress while also addressing concerns such as self-esteem, grief, ADHD, and issues within LGBTQ and polyamorous contexts.

Tony tailors interventions to each person’s needs and collaborates with clients to set realistic goals and develop practical skills for daily life. Sessions may include discussion, skill-building, and reflective work designed to increase insight and reduce distress.

He communicates clearly about options and helps clients choose a path forward that aligns with their values and circumstances.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Internal Family Systems helps people identify and relate to the different parts of themselves - inner protectors, exiles, and managers - to reduce internal conflict and promote healing after trauma or persistent emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tony works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting techniques as trust builds and needs evolve. Together they set priorities, try strategies in-session, and refine plans for applying skills between meetings.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills in daily life, and stay connected with a licensed professional from a convenient location.
