Tony Jenkins, LPC

Tony Jenkins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and trauma. He writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk without feeling judged. Tony aims to make first steps feel doable and respectful for anyone looking for support.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different reactions. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Trauma-Focused Therapy for processing painful events. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to understand different parts of a person and how they interact.

Tony has about 10 years of professional experience and works with concerns that include depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, relationship strains, and grief. He also addresses topics such as multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and issues linked to military service.

Sessions focus on practical steps and steady conversation. Clients can expect clear goals, skill practice, and space to reflect on progress. Tony encourages openness and gradual change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Sessions often include clear exercises and homework to practice skills between meetings.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotions feel intense and when learning concrete coping tools is a priority.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try. This decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer online meetings for convenience, while others choose in-person meetings when that option is offered. Discussing scheduling preferences helps match the format to your routine and goals.
