About Sandra
Dr. Sandra Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 29 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or parenting struggles.
She works with adults, adolescents, and children across a wide range of concerns. Dr. Clark holds a Doctorate in Healthcare Administration and a Masters in Counseling and Educational Administration.
She also earned an Educational Specialist degree. During her career she spent about ten years working as a psychologist and qualified mental health professional in a state hospital setting, supporting people with severe mood and thought disorders.
Background and approach
She served seven years as a program director at an outpatient clinic where she worked with adolescents and adults on issues such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, substance problems, anger, anxiety, and depression. Her background includes work in schools and social service agencies helping children and families. That time informed a practical approach that aims to make daily life easier.
Sessions focus on clear strategies and simple steps to manage mood, behavior, and relationships. Dr. Clark uses several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person.
She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered conversations, narrative work, and solution-focused planning. Those methods are woven into action-focused sessions. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance they can apply between sessions.
She supports clients through life changes, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and issues tied to abandonment, adoption, or blended family dynamics. Dr. Clark offers services from Alabama and works with English-speaking clients including international clients.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then practicing small changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. That approach often helps with mood, ADHD-related challenges, and anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan fits real life rather than a single school of thought. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around school, work, or family life.Questions people ask
