About Sandra
Dr. Sandra Clark is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 29 years of clinical experience based in Alabama. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, parenting concerns, and blended family issues. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions.
She trained at graduate level and has held roles in inpatient and outpatient settings. Her background includes work as a psychologist/qualified mental health professional in a state hospital and as an outpatient program director. That experience involved people with serious mood disorders, psychosis, substance use concerns, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in adolescents.
In sessions she uses practical, evidence-informed approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps, exploring patterns, and developing everyday skills clients can try between meetings.
Her experience includes school-based work and collaborations with social service agencies. That background informs support for parents, caregivers, and people navigating adoption, foster situations, or changes in household structure. She also has experience addressing abandonment, commitment concerns, communication problems, and infidelity.
People who contact her can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented approach. She helps sort immediate problems and sets practical goals for coping, communication, and managing strong emotions. International clients may be accepted, and services are offered in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It can help people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters and taking small steps aligned with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Both approaches suit worries about anxiety, mood, relationship patterns, and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative process includes trying techniques in sessions and adjusting them based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video to practice communication skills, while others choose phone check-ins when bandwidth or quieter surroundings are limited. Discuss formats when scheduling to find what fits your routine and goals.
