About Gilbert
Gilbert Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Michigan. He brings 12 years of experience helping people who are anxious, struggling with addiction, or facing life changes. He writes and performs music and often brings creativity into sessions when it fits a person's needs.
He blends practical talk therapy with mindfulness and behavior-focused strategies. Sessions focus on real goals like reducing worry, managing stress, or staying sober after substance use.
Background and approach
He uses techniques that help people notice thoughts, make values-based choices, and build new habits. Gilbert draws on several therapy styles to shape each person’s plan. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work for relationship problems, cognitive-behavioral strategies for negative thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation.
He matches methods to what the person wants to change. People who reach out often are coping with grief, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, and career stress.
Addiction and recovery work is a significant focus in his practice. Sessions are offered in English and he works with clients inside and outside the United States. He provides video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options so people can pick what fits their schedule and communication style.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making lasting behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people repair trust and closeness in important relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gilbert will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying one approach and adjusting it over time based on what works in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see visual cues and do deeper work. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress across different situations.
