About Sharon
Sharon Jenkins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most. Sharon draws on 25 years of experience to help clients find steady ways forward.
Sharon uses emotionally-focused approaches alongside cognitive and acceptance-based tools. Sessions aim to name painful feelings, examine unhelpful patterns, and test new ways of responding. Her style is warm and direct, with a focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Sharon earned degrees in psychology and clinical social work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later became an LCSW in Georgia. Her training and long practice have included work with grief, relationship challenges, caregiving stress, and complex trauma. She takes a strengths-based, client-centered approach that centers the person’s own goals.
Grounded exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when they match the need. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolbox to help people clarify values and commit to small changes. Outside of work, Sharon values family, faith, and the outdoors.
She is the parent of a young adult and enjoys walking, hiking, and listening to music. Those life interests inform a relaxed, human approach in sessions. Sharon welcomes people who want straightforward support, practical coping skills, and a steady partner while they work through life changes.

Online support
How emotion-focused and evidence-based approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through core feelings that drive relationship and personal patterns. Online EFT-style work names the emotions behind reactions and guides new ways of responding in daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical steps for noticing thoughts, clarifying values, and taking small meaningful actions. In telehealth sessions ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by using brief exercises and real-world experiments.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses active listening, reflection, and gentle guidance to build trust. That approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space while they sort through difficult decisions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan over time.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
