About Lavon
Lavon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and shifts in mood or behavior. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She has six years as a clinical social worker and decades of experience in child care and supportive roles prior to clinical licensure. Clark draws on a long history in the helping professions, including work as a licensed child care provider, therapeutic foster parent for teen girls, paraprofessional with children with special needs, and mental health aide for adults with special needs.
Background and approach
Her academic background includes an Associate of General Studies in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and a Master of Science in Social Work. Those experiences shape how she notices strengths and stresses in daily life. In sessions she considers the whole person and their surroundings using a Person-In-Environment lens.
That means conversations include family patterns, school or work demands, and other practical factors that affect wellbeing. She pairs that perspective with evidence-based methods to address anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and behavior challenges. Her approach blends short-term problem solving with space to tell personal stories and practice new skills.
She helps people set clear, manageable goals, try small changes, and track what works. The overall aim is to reduce distress and build routines that fit each person's life. Clark emphasizes collaboration and respect.
She invites clients to name priorities and then shapes sessions around those goals. The focus is on steady progress toward a more manageable day-to-day life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Two of the main approaches Clark uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on safe ways to process past hurt and build coping tools for triggers and flashbacks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest options to try. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what the client finds useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice interactions; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or steady contact when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family time while keeping the therapeutic focus on real-life change.
