About Tony

Tony Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 10 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar conditions, depression, and addictions. Tony also addresses relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and related challenges.

Tony uses practical conversations to help people notice how feelings and thoughts affect behavior. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clearer thinking rather than long theory. He draws on cognitive and behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful patterns, and on emotion-focused methods when trauma or intense feelings are present.

He often integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address past harm and its ongoing effects. Internal Family Systems work can help people organize inner parts that clash or cause self-criticism.

Tony aims for direct, usable strategies people can try between sessions. That might mean short behavior experiments, emotion regulation exercises, or revising thoughts that fuel resentment. The focus is on what someone can do differently in day-to-day situations.

People who choose him typically want straightforward guidance on handling anger, reducing anxiety, and improving mood and relationships. He encourages small steps that add up to clearer thinking and steadier reactions. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s process for matching and booking a first appointment.

How sessions work

How Tony’s approaches translate to remote work

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions teach ways to spot thought patterns and test them with small experiments. This helps with anger, anxiety, and mood issues by changing responses in everyday situations.

DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. In remote sessions Tony can teach grounding, breathing, and reality-checking techniques that reduce impulsive reactions and lower emotional intensity when stress flares.

Tony also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to process past harm and reduce its ongoing impact. That work is paced to what the person can manage and can include stabilizing skills before deeper processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help clients choose which methods to try based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. This is a collaborative process with adjustments as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use tools and worksheets in real time. Many people find remote sessions a practical way to build calmer responses and practice new skills between meetings.
