About Sharon

Sharon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and questions about life purpose after major changes. Sharon also supports people dealing with stress, parenting pressures, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Attachment-focused work and emotionally-focused strategies are used when relationship patterns and closeness are part of the problem.

Sharon emphasizes real-world experience alongside clinical knowledge. She previously worked as a substance abuse counselor and often helps people connect therapy to everyday demands like work, school, or caregiving. Sessions are arranged to fit schedules and life constraints when possible.

In sessions she talks through current problems, helps people test small behavior changes, and explores patterns that keep them feeling stuck. The focus is on practical choices and clearer priorities rather than quick fixes or guarantees.

She conducts therapy in English and works from Kentucky. People interested in starting are asked to use the online matching and scheduling process to set up an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and are handled through a cancellable subscription model.

How Sharon’s approaches translate to online work

Sharon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas. ACT involves noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that align with what matters. It can help when people feel stuck or unsure of their next steps. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early work. Sharon will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiver duties and can reduce travel time. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins, which can help when time or attention is limited. Confirm current session options and scheduling details during the matching and booking steps.
