Dr. Virginia Clark, LCSW

Dr. Virginia Clark is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, and career or life-change stress. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.

With 40 years in practice, she draws on a range of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, realistic steps. Conversations cover what is happening now, how patterns got started, and what can change next. Work may include learning new skills, practicing different responses, and shifting thoughts that cause pain.

Dr. Clark combines strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches with acceptance-oriented work and attention to attachment and emotions. She can help people manage strong feelings, set boundaries, reduce risky behaviors, and rebuild routines after loss or crisis. Her background includes long experience with addiction and trauma-related challenges.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to act toward chosen values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and difficulty staying motivated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online practice can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, and letting people use sessions from different locations as schedules require. Therapists can guide skill practice between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
