About Lavon

Lavon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, and changes in life. She works with children, adolescents, and adults to address challenges like ADHD, depression, anger, grief, and relationship strain. Her tone is practical and goal-focused, aiming to make progress one step at a time.

Clark draws on a long history in care roles outside of clinical work, including time as a licensed child care provider and therapeutic foster parent. That background informs how she supports people through everyday systems such as schools, medical settings, and social services. She uses plain language and collaborative planning so families and individuals can understand next steps.

With six years as a practicing licensed clinical social worker, she combines current clinical work with decades of earlier experience as a paraprofessional and mental health aide. Her academic path includes an Associate of General Studies in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and a Master of Science in Social Work.

In sessions she focuses on the person in their environment, looking at what matters most to the client and the systems around them. Clark uses a mix of evidence-based techniques and client-centered conversation. She helps people set achievable goals and practice new skills between meetings.

Parents who are worried about behavior, school issues, or emotional struggles can expect straightforward guidance and concrete strategies. Clark emphasizes partnership - she listens first, then helps build plans that fit real life.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

PIE - Person-In-Environment focuses on the individual and the systems around them, such as school or family. This approach helps identify practical changes in routines, supports, or settings that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past hurt while building safety and coping skills in the present. It can help people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events to regain more stability and control over reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, ask about what has helped before, and discuss options so both can decide what to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on how the work is progressing.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about which session rhythm and setup will work best for everyday life.
