Dionne Jenkins, LCSW, CSW

Dionne Jenkins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She often supports those dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship strain, and midlife crisis. Her style is warm and hopeful, aimed at helping clients rediscover inner strength and purpose.

She uses a blend of person-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide conversations. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can take, noticing thought patterns, and choosing values-based actions. Dionne integrates her faith and life experience when it is helpful, but she does not provide spiritual counseling as a separate service.

Her approach is conversational and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps people identify one or two small changes to try between sessions. Over time she helps clients build resilience and a clearer sense of direction when life feels uncertain.

Dionne has worked in community mental health for 25 years in Georgia. Her experience includes helping people manage caregiver stress, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and struggles around life purpose and self-love. She aims to support people who want to rebuild confidence and move toward a more fulfilling life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches work in online care

Dionne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for life purpose, midlife shifts, and feeling stuck. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a values-based exercise one week and a thought-challenging skill the next, then adjusting based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual work helps them practice new skills in the flow of daily life and keeps continuity when schedules change.
