About Sharon
Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 22 years of experience. She combines practical life experience with clinical work to help people manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, relationship struggles, codependency, and parenting stress. Sharon writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
Her style is straightforward and adaptable. She prefers video conferencing because it helps build rapport, but she aims to work around school, work, and medical appointments. Conversations are collaborative - Sharon helps people set clear goals and then uses easy-to-follow tools to reach them.
Sharon draws on several approaches to guide treatment. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-focused work shows up when relationship or intimacy issues are central. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people tolerate difficult emotions while moving toward the life they value.
Sessions focus on concrete steps and real-world changes. Sharon can support those facing trauma, substance concerns, mood differences including bipolar, stress and burnout, ADHD-related challenges, and career or caregiving strain. She pays attention to family-of-origin patterns and communication problems that often keep people stuck.
People who choose Sharon generally want a practical therapist who also respects emotional reality. Her Kentucky practice offers an approach that blends lived experience with clinical tools to make therapy relatable and useful.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Sharon uses a mix of methods that adapt well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and emotions without getting stuck, then focus on values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns people repeat in relationships and how to build more secure, connected ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as progress and needs change, so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Video conferencing is noted as her personal preference because it supports getting to know one another visually. Confirm the current session options before booking so you understand available formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and appointments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people apply new skills in day-to-day life without requiring them to rearrange their whole routine.
