Sharon Clark, LCSW

Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, and stress. Sharon also supports those coping with trauma, parenting strain, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Sharon began therapy after a first career in the wider world, so she brings practical insight as well as clinical know-how. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on what matters day to day. She prefers clear, simple conversation that connects real life with therapy work.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods. Sharon uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also works with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas inform work on relationship patterns and closeness.

In sessions she leans toward a client-centered stance, listening first and matching techniques to each person. Her goal is practical change that fits the client’s life and schedule. Sharon is based in Kentucky and brings 22 years of practice as an LCSW.

People who choose her often want straightforward help with painful feelings, patterns that keep repeating, or addictive behaviors. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, helping clients build habits that support calmer days and clearer relationships.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical skills for choosing meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practice new approaches that lead to different results. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people shift those patterns to build more stable interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon talks with each person about what they want to change and their everyday life. Together they pick methods that fit goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what each client can manage.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend consistently. Different methods lend themselves to short skill practice, deeper emotion work, or step-by-step behavior change, and Sharon tailors the work to how clients prefer to engage.
