About Sharon
Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, drawn from a second-career perspective that blends real-world insight with clinical practice.
Sharon listens first and then helps people find small, workable changes. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard.
Background and approach
Her work includes attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ways of approaching relationships. That means she pays attention to how early bonds and current patterns affect trust, communication, and intimacy. She supports people who are managing burnout, caregiver stress, or complicated family issues.
Sharon previously worked as a substance abuse counselor and offers experience for people addressing addictions and co-occurring problems. She lets people pick how they connect with her and is flexible about scheduling around work or appointments. Sessions are offered in English and based in Kentucky.
Sharon describes therapy as a practical partnership where people learn tools, try them between sessions, and adjust as needed.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) or attachment-informed work looks at how relationship patterns and emotional responses shape conflict and connection, useful for intimacy and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn't working and adjusts the plan together rather than prescribing a single route from the start.
Online sessions can be delivered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is often preferred for getting to know one another, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can serve as brief check-ins or flexible options between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to continue work during life transitions.
