About Virginia
Dr.
Background and approach
Virginia Clark brings four decades of clinical experience to her practice in Florida, offering support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related challenges, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She is an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) with a long history of working with people facing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Her approach is adaptable and draws on several evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs, with an emphasis on practical skills and insight.
Dr. Clark blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-oriented practices and attachment-aware perspectives, and she also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused approaches as appropriate.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with substance use, codependency, domestic violence, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and identity concerns, and forgiveness work. Dr.
Clark offers sessions in English through a variety of remote formats to accommodate different schedules. She guides clients toward clearer choices and coping strategies while helping them pursue more satisfying patterns in relationships and daily life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Clark frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a method that encourages clients to clarify values and practice acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy is another element of her approach, addressing relational patterns and how early attachments influence current relationship dynamics.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor a mix of techniques that fit the person’s needs rather than applying a single method automatically.
Online therapy with Dr. Clark is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access therapy from home or work while working toward clearer choices and improved day-to-day functioning.
