Background and approach
She has experience in hospital inpatient care and in outpatient program leadership. That variety gives her a broad view of how problems show up in daily life. In sessions she uses methods that help people notice what matters, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and try small changes.
Techniques include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, narrative work, and solution-focused tools. She explains ideas simply and helps clients pick practical steps to try between sessions. Dr.
Clark has worked with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, intimacy and commitment worries, adoption and foster care related concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also addresses anger, impulsivity, infidelity, and adjustment to big life changes. She practices from Alabama and offers counseling in English.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to act on what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented steps and can help when people want quick, practical changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and will help choose techniques that fit each person's needs. That collaborative process can include trying different methods and adjusting over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make counseling more adaptable. Video calls are useful when conversation and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can work if bandwidth is limited or when movement is easier than sitting on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
