Sharon Clark, LCSW

Sharon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of professional experience. She entered therapy as a second career and brings practical, real-world perspective alongside her clinical skills, offering guidance that draws on both life experience and training.

Over the years Sharon has worked with a diverse range of clients, including people seeking help for substance use concerns - she has prior experience as a substance abuse counselor. Her areas of focus include addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, stress and anxiety, family and parenting concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes, among other challenges.

Sharon adapts her approach to each person she sees, combining methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as appropriate. She offers flexible scheduling to accommodate work, school, and medical appointments, and provides sessions by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sharon favors video conferencing because it helps both client and therapist get to know one another more naturally, but she can work in whatever format a client prefers. Based in Kentucky, she aims to blend practical insight with clinical care to help clients navigate their concerns and goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It supports work on intimacy, relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and rebuilding secure ways of connecting with others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the individual’s experience, offering empathy, active listening, and support for self-exploration so clients can identify their own solutions. This approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating major life decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy provides flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate appointments or work, and maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
