About Sharon

Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and stress. Sharon speaks plain language and aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone juggling daily life.

Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She draws on real-world experience outside of therapy to help clients apply strategies at home and work.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals, steady support, and learning skills that can be used between meetings. Sharon uses proven methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thought patterns and build coping skills. She also works with attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches when relationships and connection are central to the concern.

These tools are mixed to fit each person’s situation rather than following a rigid plan. Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide next steps together. Sharon pays attention to what is happening in a person’s daily life and teaches concrete steps for managing emotions, communication, and behavior.

Based in Kentucky, Sharon holds a Kentucky LCSW number 3851. Her background includes work as a substance abuse counselor and long experience supporting people through complex life changes. She offers sessions in English across several remote formats to fit different schedules.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and when life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place, and then teaching concrete skills to change them. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills for daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is aimed at improving emotional connection and communication when relationships or closeness are the main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Techniques may be combined and adjusted over time based on what is helpful in the client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around work, school, and caregiving and let people use the formats that feel most comfortable. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic tools remotely, helping clients practice new skills and stay connected to support without extra travel.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
