Sharon Clark

Sharon Clark is an LCSW with more than two decades of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life challenges. She works with concerns like anger, addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and parenting stress. Sharon writes plainly and meets people where they are to figure out practical next steps.

Sharon came to therapy as a second career, so she brings both clinical experience and practical life skills. That mix shapes her approach: straightforward conversations, clear tools, and flexible scheduling to fit work or school commitments. She has experience as a substance abuse counselor and uses that background when addiction is part of the picture.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens first, then offers ways to try things differently. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and strong feelings. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationship patterns are a concern.

Sessions are organized around goals a person names, with attention to coping skills and small changes that make daily life easier. Sharon pays attention to family of origin issues, communication and control struggles, grief, and work-related stress like compassion fatigue.

She practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients start by using the site Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while staying focused on what matters most. It is useful for managing anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful reactions and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the emotional experience in close relationships and can help when anger or distance is tied to attachment and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The biography mentions a personal preference for video conferencing but does not list other specific formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time to appointments. Licensed professionals can still use hands-on tools like breathing exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework assignments in remote sessions to help manage anger and build new habits.
