Sharon has been a great help! As an LGBTQIA person, I was a little hesitant to work with a straight cis person, but she's a great ally and really understands my concerns and where I'm coming from.

More about Sharon

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello! My name is Sharon Clark and I have 18 years as a therapist. Therapy is a second career for me, so I have the benefit of offering some helpful information about navigating the "real world," and hopefully, you'll learn my experience is not straight out of the textbooks! Over the past years, I have worked with a very diverse population that struggle with unique perspectives on therapy and how it works. I have worked with court ordered clients as well as those who seek therapy on their own. I have also worked as a substance abuse counselor if that is area you want to get help with. I can interact with you in whatever manner you choose, but video conferencing is my personal preference as it gives you the opportunity to get to know me and vice versa more easily. I can be flexible to help accommodate your work schedule, school, doctor's appointments etc.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have been very happy working with Sharon over the past several months. I have had a lot going on in my life and it has been helpful for me to speak with and sometimes "at," and just vent my frustrations. We circle back and address things and for that I am very pleased.

Sharon has helped me incredibly over the past few months. I came to her in a troubled romantic relationship and strained family relationships and she has guided me through radical acceptance and facing hard decisions. She provided me with articles, worksheets, and exercises as homework to give me tools I use now everyday. She has a lot of experience and no judgement. She’s helped me seriously reduce my anxiety and depression and grow my family relationships and rebuild my confidence after a break up.
