Sharon Clark, LCSW

Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than 22 years of experience. She helps people facing midlife questions, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. Sharon aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling work, family, and other demands.

Sharon began therapy as a second career and brings real-world experience alongside clinical skills. That background shapes how she talks with clients - plain language, useful tools, and attention to what fits each person’s life. She has worked with people who have substance use histories and those dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Sharon uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and move toward meaningful action. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot patterns and try small behavior changes. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas guide work on relationship patterns and connection.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Sharon prefers video conferencing because it helps people see and get to know one another, but she aims to be flexible around schedules and other appointments. She encourages clients to bring real concerns and to try practical steps between sessions.

Based in Kentucky, Sharon speaks English and works with adults seeking help for mood, stress, relationship, and life-transition concerns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling when they start the process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing practical changes to improve mood and functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connection styles influence current interactions, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss these approaches together with each client and choose methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine ideas from different approaches over time.

Sharon prefers video conferencing because it allows visual connection and helps build rapport, but she aims to be flexible to accommodate work, school, doctor's appointments, and other scheduling needs. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, require less travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during life transitions.
