About Sharon
Sharon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life challenges.
Sharon began therapy as a second career and brings practical life experience to her work. She uses everyday language and concrete steps. Sessions focus on real-world problems like balancing work, appointments, and family responsibilities.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to address unprocessed trauma, codependency, communication problems, and coping with change.
Sharon has prior experience working as a substance abuse counselor and has supported people with addiction concerns. She also helps those dealing with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, abandonment, and family of origin problems.
In sessions she favors straightforward conversation and practical tools. Clients can expect to talk about patterns, set short-term goals, and practice exercises between meetings. She aims to adapt work to a client's schedule and life demands.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect a client's values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, addiction-related thinking, and mood regulation.
Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape adult connection. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems, abandonment concerns, and family of origin work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day demands. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Sharon prefers video conferencing personally because it supports getting to know each other, but she notes flexibility to accommodate work or medical appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments.
