Lavon Clark, LCSW

Lavon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who brings six years of clinical practice to her work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. As an LCSW - a licensed mental health professional with advanced social work training - she focuses on helping clients navigate mental health, medical, educational, and social systems to create practical plans of care that support overall well-being. Lavon draws on a broad clinical background to address concerns such as ADHD, anger, anxiety, attachment difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, emotion regulation, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and family conflict.

Her commitment to helping others is rooted in more than four decades in the helping professions, including roles as a licensed child care provider, a licensed therapeutic foster parent for teen girls, a paraprofessional working with children with special needs, and a mental health aide supporting adults with special needs. For the past six years she has practiced in clinical social work roles, offering focused therapeutic support to individuals and families across the lifespan. Her academic training includes an Associate of General Studies with a focus on Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and a Master of Science in Social Work.

Clinically, Lavon uses a Person-In-Environment (PIE) perspective to center what matters most to each client while integrating evidence-based techniques. She employs approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-focused interventions, narrative and solution-focused methods, client-centered care, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s goals. Lavon emphasizes collaborative work - she sees clients as experts in their own lives and partners with them to identify, process, and change the areas that create obstacles to well-being and growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Lavon Clark commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other everyday challenges - CBT offers concrete tools for managing symptoms and building new skills. She also employs trauma-focused therapy to address the aftereffects of traumatic experiences and abuse, creating structured ways to process difficult memories and improve emotional regulation. Additionally, mindfulness-based techniques are integrated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for emotion regulation and anger management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lavon works with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Lavon is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication preferences. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, between appointments, or while managing family and work commitments, and they support a consistent therapeutic relationship even when in-person visits are not possible.
