About Sharon

Sharon Clark is an LCSW with more than 22 years of clinical experience who helps people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, caregiver burden, and concerns linked to aging and geriatric issues. Sharon draws on practical life experience in addition to clinical work to make therapy relatable and down-to-earth.

Her style is straightforward and adaptable. She prefers video sessions because they allow for a closer connection, but she aims to be flexible around school, work, and medical appointments. Sharon invites people to bring real-life concerns and aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting.

Sharon integrates several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationships and intimacy.

Over two decades, Sharon has worked with diverse clients, including those who have struggled with substance use and complex family dynamics. She emphasizes practical steps and skills alongside talking through feelings. Sessions include concrete strategies for coping, communication, and planning next steps.

Sharon practices in Kentucky and holds an LCSW license. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling when they start the intake process.

How Sharon Brings Therapy Online with Practical Approaches

Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where people want clearer direction.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT provides concrete skills for mood, worry, and managing addictive patterns. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas shape work on relationship patterns and intimacy when that is part of the goal.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Sharon discusses goals and preferences with each person and blends methods that fit the situation. She invites feedback so therapy can be adjusted as progress and needs evolve.

The profile notes Sharon’s preference for video conferencing but does not list the full set of session formats. Confirm which formats are available before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments, or school, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some options can be quieter or shorter to fit a break at work, while others let you use the camera for more face-to-face conversation. Ask about scheduling and format details when you start the matching process to find what suits your routine.
