About Sharon

Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience. She helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Sharon also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, work stress, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. She works with men concerned about wellbeing and life balance and brings a practical viewpoint from a second-career background.

Sharon keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Conversations often include skill-building for stress management, ways to manage difficult emotions, and steps to improve communication. She adapts what she offers to each person’s daily life and responsibilities.

Her approach blends several well-known methods. Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new skills. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas guide work around close relationships and patterns that repeat over time.

Sharon has a background as a substance abuse counselor and has worked with diverse clients over many years. That real-world experience informs practical suggestions about balancing therapy with work, school, or caregiving duties. She prefers video conferencing to foster face-to-face conversation but remains flexible around scheduling.

Clients who start with Sharon complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions that match her availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Sharon Applies Therapy Online

Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, which can be helpful for anxiety, addiction, and major life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and develop coping skills for stress and depression. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and emotional connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to test what helps most. She will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs and preferences.

The biography indicates a preference for video conferencing to support face-to-face interaction, and Sharon notes she can be flexible around scheduling to fit work, school, or medical appointments. Because session formats are not fully specified, confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel to appointments.
