About Dionne
Dionne Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, grief, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and life transitions. Dionne also addresses caregiver strain, attachment concerns, and women's issues while supporting people through questions of faith and life purpose.
Her style blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She encourages noticing personal strengths, values, and everyday skills that reduce overwhelm and improve coping.
Dionne draws on a long history in community mental health and volunteer work. That background informs how she approaches problems such as compassion fatigue, career stress, and midlife questions. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals and methods are agreed together.
In sessions she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then build small, manageable changes. Techniques include thought review, behavior experiments, values clarification, and coping plans for strong emotion such as anger. The work can include exploring guilt, forgiveness, loneliness, and rebuilding self-regard.
People who want a practical, steady approach to life changes may find this style helpful. Dionne frames work around clients' real day-to-day pressures and faith when relevant, while keeping the focus on concrete strategies and measurable steps toward their goals.
How these approaches guide online sessions
Dionne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or disconnected from personal goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that make anger worse. CBT offers concrete exercises such as tracking triggers and testing alternative responses. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening framework that keeps sessions focused on the person’s priorities and experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dionne will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical, then try methods that match those needs. That way the process stays collaborative and can be adjusted over time.
