About Dionne
Dionne Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, relationship and family tensions, trauma and grief. Dionne also notes work with anger, career struggles, and bipolar symptoms.
Her style blends person-centered listening with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Then she works with each person to build small, doable changes and practices they can try between sessions.
Dionne says faith and spirituality inform her outlook, though she is not a spiritual counselor. She aims to support people whether or not they attend a church or follow a religion. This can include talking about values, meaning, and the role of belief when it matters to the client.
Over 25 years Dionne has worked in community mental health settings with a range of adults. That background informs a focus on practical help for daily life - coping skills, stress management, and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences.
She lists additional focuses such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife concerns, life purpose, self-love, and women's issues. People who want clear steps and values-based work may find this approach fitting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed small steps that align with those values. It is useful for stress, life changes, and feelings of being stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and reflects back what matters to the person, helping clarify goals and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and provides concrete exercises to change unhelpful reactions and manage anxiety or depression.Deciding which approach or mix to use is a collaborative process. Dionne will work with each person to see what fits their goals, daily life, and preferences. Together they review what helps, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan over time based on what the person finds useful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats for online work, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, permit shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often combine practical exercises, in-session conversation, and between-session tasks so therapy fits around caregiving, work, and household routines.
