Sharon Clark , LCSW

Sharon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of therapeutic experience who entered counseling as a second career, bringing practical life experience to her clinical work. She works with a broad array of issues including addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, and a variety of intimacy and parenting challenges. Her background includes time as a substance abuse counselor, which informs her approach when clients seek help with addiction and recovery. Sharon has supported people facing complex, overlapping challenges such as co-morbidity, caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions, and she tailors care to each person’s situation and goals.

Sharon emphasizes an approachable, collaborative style that blends evidence-informed methods with attention to a client’s lived experience outside of therapy. She prefers video conferencing because it allows for richer connection, though she is flexible and will meet by phone, live chat, or text-based messaging according to a client’s needs and schedule. As an LCSW - a credential that denotes clinical social work training and licensure to provide psychotherapy - she brings both clinical skills and practical perspective to help clients navigate change and build coping strategies. Sharon practices in Kentucky and is accepting new clients who are located in the United States.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them, practice mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward valued goals - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional bonds developed over time; it can be useful for people working through relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, or family-of-origin issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques, which can support work on mood, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon Clark collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws from these approaches to create a personalized plan rather than applying a single method rigidly, and she involves clients in decisions about pacing and focus.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate work, school, caregiving, and other obligations. For many people, this accessibility makes it easier to maintain consistent care with licensed professionals and therapists while balancing daily life.
