About Gilbert Clark

Gilbert Clark is a licensed professional counselor (LPC, LPCC) with 12 years of experience supporting adults through addiction recovery, mental health concerns, and life transitions. He holds an MA and brings diverse training from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies along with additional training through the Mayo Clinic, which has helped shape a broad, whole-person view of wellness and change.

Across a range of treatment environments and with people from many backgrounds, he has found that therapy works best when it is tailored to the individual and grounded in respect for each person’s story, values, and goals. His work draws from an eclectic blend of cognitive strategies, mindfulness-based practices, narrative work, and solution-focused therapy to build practical skills while also making room for meaning, identity, and long-term growth.

He specializes in addiction treatment and recovery, including guiding clients through an initial substance use assessment, the stages of recovery, and ongoing maintenance. He also works with relationship and family challenges, supports families seeking help for a loved one, and offers space for self-exploration and trauma-informed healing. As a creative who writes, records, and performs original music with a focus on recovery music, he brings an experiential, compassionate, person-centered style that invites both insight and forward movement.

Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions

Gilbert Clark integrates evidence-based approaches that can be especially practical in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, supporting change in areas such as addiction recovery, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences can shape current connections, helping clients make sense of patterns in intimacy, trust, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gilbert Clark collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting along the way as new needs emerge or priorities shift.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, revisit skills in real time, and access support from home or while traveling, without needing to commute or rearrange an entire day to get care.
