About Dionne
Dionne Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addiction concerns, anger, relationship and family strains, and life changes.
She prefers a person-centered style combined with cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations often include values, practical coping strategies, and small behavior changes that aim to reduce reactivity and increase control over daily choices.
Dionne draws on her faith and long experience in community mental health when she listens and plans next steps. She does not present as a spiritual counselor, but she says her beliefs inform how she treats hope, meaning, and resilience. That helps some people who want to discuss spiritual questions alongside therapy.
In practice she helps people identify patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or avoidance. Work may include noticing triggers, testing alternative responses, and practicing techniques to lower tension in the moment. She also addresses broader issues like attachment, caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt, and isolation.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and a focus on practical tools. Dionne has spent much of her career supporting individuals in community settings. She aims to help people build steadier responses to conflict and rebuild confidence as they manage life changes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people connect with what matters and take small committed steps in that direction. In practice this looks like identifying values, noticing urges or anger triggers, and trying simple actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions teach practical skills - spotting unhelpful thinking, testing alternatives, and rehearsing new responses to reduce angry reactions. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which techniques to try based on personal goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in daily life. The format options are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into a workday, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer a longer appointment that lets them practice skills in real time. Discussing how sessions will fit into everyday life happens during the first scheduling steps so practical needs can be matched to the methods the therapist uses.Areas of focus
