About Sharon

Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a practical perspective developed through a second-career pathway, combining clinical skills with real-world insight to help clients make sense of emotional struggles and life transitions. Sharon emphasizes a collaborative, down-to-earth working relationship that recognizes each person’s context and priorities.

Her work spans a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and family problems, stress and burnout, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Clinically she integrates evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy with attachment-informed and emotionally-focused approaches, tailoring interventions to fit individual goals.

Sessions are offered in several online formats with flexibility around scheduling to accommodate work, school, and other commitments. Sharon practices in Kentucky and holds KY LCSW 3851.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Sharon frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to produce measurable improvements in daily functioning.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to support people in clarifying values and building psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions or life changes. ACT can be especially useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and the ongoing challenges that accompany mood and attention differences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sharon works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt strategies over time to match changing needs.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care and progress toward personal goals.
