About Sandra
Dr. Sandra Clark is an LPC with 29 years of experience in counseling. She practices in Alabama and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She works with adults, adolescents, and children and has years of experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. Her background includes roles in a state hospital treating severe mood and psychotic symptoms and leadership of an outpatient program serving youth and adults with mood, substance, and behavior challenges. She has also provided school-based and social service agency care.
Her approach combines several practical therapies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a core method she uses to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and increase meaningful action, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's perspective.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and tries specific strategies for anxiety, mood, and addiction-related concerns. Work can include skill practice, changing routines, and small behavioral experiments.
Dr. Clark holds an MS LPC and an OR LPC credential and has completed advanced degrees including a Doctorate in Healthcare Administration and an Educational Specialist degree. Her long experience includes inpatient treatment, outpatient program direction, school work, and agency-based services. She accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Online work can include tracking mood, testing new behaviors between sessions, and practicing coping skills in everyday settings. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be practiced and reviewed in session. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and uses the therapist's listening to guide each session.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which combination of methods to try. That collaborative process helps set clear, practical steps for therapy and adjusts methods if something is not working.
