About Clark
Clark Hammond is a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than two decades of experience. He earned a master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Brigham Young University and holds a non-clinical doctorate in Human Development and Family Studies from Oregon State University.

He draws on his MFT background to see individual concerns in the context of relationships and family life.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical change. Clark listens first, then helps people build clearer plans and manageable steps toward their goals. Clark has worked in independent practice, residential treatment, young adult transition programs, and wilderness therapy.
He has also taught graduate students for nearly eight years as a core faculty member training Clinical Mental Health Counselors. Those varied settings shape a flexible, real-world approach to common struggles. People often come to him for stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family challenges, life transitions, career concerns, ADHD, depression, and compassion fatigue.
He also supports LGBT concerns, men’s issues, and young adult issues. Clark blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to match each person’s needs. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build skills that fit daily life.
Clark frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s voice guides the work. He values steady progress and practical tools that people can use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist mirrors concerns, asks open questions, and helps the client set the pace and direction of the work. This approach is useful for people who want a safe space to sort thoughts and build confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new strategies between meetings. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it gives specific tools to test and change daily habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose techniques that match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Over time Clark checks in and adjusts the plan so interventions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility in timing and style while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
