About Sharon

Sharon Clark is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Kentucky with 22 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and work or career stress. Sharon also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

Sharon began therapy after a first career, so she often brings practical life experience into sessions alongside clinical methods. She has worked with people from many backgrounds and has experience as a substance abuse counselor. That background informs how she talks about addiction and recovery with clients.

Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she focuses on emotions, relationship patterns, and unhelpful thoughts, and on small steps people can try between meetings.

Sharon prefers video conferencing because it helps build rapport, though she notes flexibility to accommodate schedules and commitments. Sessions work around clients' needs and calendars, including times that fit work, school, and medical appointments.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Sharon uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online

Sharon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at patterns of feeling and connection that show up in relationships and personal interactions. EFT focuses on naming emotions and shifting unhelpful interaction cycles so people can relate differently to themselves and others.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early patterns affect current relationships and closeness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss what feels most useful for your goals and try methods that fit your situation. She combines emotion-focused work, behavioral strategies, and values-based tasks so the plan reflects your needs and preferences.

Session options should be confirmed before booking; the biography notes a personal preference for video conferencing but does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Confirm current session options when you schedule so you know which formats are available.
