About Sharon
Sharon Clark is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Kentucky with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing issues such as addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and stress. Sharon also addresses grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and problems tied to family dynamics and self-esteem.
She brings practical life experience to therapy, having moved into this work after another career. Sessions focus on clear, real-world conversation rather than clinical distance. Sharon prefers video conferencing because it helps people and her get to know one another, but she aims to be flexible around work, school, and medical appointments.
Her approach uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice what matters and test different ways of responding. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and intimacy issues. Client-Centered principles shape how she listens and follows what the person brings to the room.
Sharon has experience working with people who have struggled with substance use and has served diverse groups over her career. She describes therapy as practical help for daily life and relationships, not just theory. Sessions are intended to fit into ordinary schedules when possible.
If you want to try therapy, she asks people to complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and notice unhelpful thought patterns. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small actions toward those values even when difficult feelings are present, which can help with guilt and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and test thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or shame. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical experiments people can try between sessions to see what changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift or new concerns come up.
Her biography notes a personal preference for video conferencing because it allows a clearer connection between person and therapist, but she also states flexibility to accommodate work, school, and doctor appointments. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can work around daily responsibilities.
