Gilbert Clark, LPC, LPCC

Gilbert Clark is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of experience. He holds LPC and LPCC credentials and works from a person-centered approach that values creativity and practical tools. He focuses on addiction recovery, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life changes including midlife transitions.

Gilbert blends cognitive and mindfulness-based methods with client-centered care. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy among other approaches. Sessions emphasize clear skills, values work, and steps clients can try between meetings.

His background includes training in addiction studies and work across varied treatment settings. That experience shaped a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s situation. He also brings creative methods into sessions, including music and experiential exercises when helpful.

People come to him for help with substance use and recovery planning, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. He also supports people facing career shifts, caregiver strain, or questions tied to identity and self-esteem.

Gilbert invites a collaborative process that centers the client’s goals. He asks practical questions, helps set achievable steps, and checks progress regularly to adjust care to what is working.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It can help with mood, stress, and addiction triggers. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections, which can help when intimacy or trust issues come up.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different methods, mixing approaches, or adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports working through emotion regulation skills, recovery planning, and values-based actions between meetings without promising any particular format.
