Clark Hammond, LMFT - Therapist in Utah

About Clark

Clark Hammond is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with more than two decades of clinical experience. He earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Brigham Young University and also holds a non-clinical doctorate in Human Development and Family Studies from Oregon State University.

Clark draws on long experience in independent practice and other care settings to help people navigate stressful times. He approaches therapy in a straightforward, client-centered way.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and focused on the issues the person brings. Clark helps clients set clear goals, try workable steps between sessions, and notice what changes are happening. Clinically he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.

That combination is useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, and managing stress. It also supports people dealing with relationship, intimacy, career, and parenting concerns. Clark has spent years working with diverse settings including independent practice, residential treatment, young adult transition programs, and wilderness therapy.

He has also taught graduate students as core faculty in a clinical training program. That background informs a practical, systems-aware way of seeing problems. People who meet with Clark can expect plain talk, hands-on strategies, and a pace suited to their life.

He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To get started, prospective clients follow the platform’s sign-up flow to match and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead, helping people clarify what matters most and decide next steps. This approach is helpful when someone needs a safe space to sort priorities and try small changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tests practical changes to reduce distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete tools people can use between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress. It pairs well with CBT techniques when managing worry or emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Clark collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new concerns arise.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for travel, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options let people keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
