About Sharon
Sharon Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress. She also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, career crossroads, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Sharon brings a down-to-earth stance shaped by a second-career route. She uses everyday language and practical examples to make therapy feel less like a lecture and more like problem-solving together.
Background and approach
Video calls are her preference because they help build rapport, though she offers other formats to fit busy schedules. Her approach blends narrative work with acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed listening. That means she helps people tell the stories that shape their lives, notice values and actions that matter, and attend to connection patterns that affect relationships.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in the client's goals. Sharon has experience as a substance abuse counselor and has worked with a wide range of presentations over two decades. She frames symptoms and behaviors in the context of life events and relationships, not only labels.
Her Kentucky practice reflects long-term clinical work and practical supports for everyday challenges. People who choose Sharon can expect straightforward talk, goal-focused planning, and flexible scheduling. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into work, school, and family rhythms.

Online session options
Online care using narrative and acceptance-based methods
Sharon commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients separate themselves from unhelpful stories. This approach looks at the stories people tell about their lives and works to uncover alternative plots that support change and hope. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions, clarifying personal values, and taking small actions that matter. Attachment-informed work helps people see how early and current relationships shape patterns in intimacy and conflict, and then practice new ways of connecting.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sharon discusses options in early sessions and tailors methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and therapist refine the plan as they learn what works best together rather than committing to a rigid path from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps build rapport and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, and other daily demands.
