About Sharon

Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate stress and anxiety. She also supports people coping with depression, trauma, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, and career or parenting challenges. Her background includes work as a substance abuse counselor, and she draws on that experience when addiction is part of a person's concerns.

Sharon writes plainly and uses a down-to-earth style. She blends talk therapy with practical tools to help people manage daily challenges. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying small changes, and noticing what helps in ordinary life.

Her approach mixes methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based ideas. That means she may help people notice difficult thoughts, clarify values, and strengthen close relationships. Emotionally-focused and client-centered techniques also guide how she listens and responds in sessions.

Sharon has practiced for 22 years and brings experience from community and substance abuse settings. She is based in Kentucky and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

People often seek her help for stress, anxiety, ADHD, coping with life changes, and family of origin or communication problems. She aims to collaborate with each person to find workable steps that fit their day-to-day life.

How Sharon Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It often includes simple exercises to clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and it offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday challenges.

The right approach is something Sharon figures out together with each person. She listens to what matters, discusses options, and adjusts methods based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person's rhythm and needs.

The therapist's biography notes a personal preference for video conferencing, but full session options are not exhaustively listed here. Before booking, confirm which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet from different locations within the same state and keep appointments around work, school, or caregiver responsibilities.
