About Lavon
Lavon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Clark has a long history in caregiving roles that inform her clinical work. Before her social work licensure she spent decades as a licensed child care provider, a licensed therapeutic foster parent for teen girls, and in paraprofessional and mental health aide roles with people who have special needs. Those earlier roles shaped how she notices practical barriers and resources in everyday life.
Her education includes an Associate of General Studies with a focus on early childhood education, a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and a Master of Science in Social Work. She practices with the Person-In-Environment model, which looks at personal needs alongside family, school, work, and community factors.
Clinically, she draws on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, trauma-focused work, narrative techniques, solution-focused strategies, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to focus on identifying what the client wants to change and building concrete steps toward those goals.
People looking to address persistent anger, manage emotional reactions, or reduce conflict at home or work will find practical strategies in her work. The focus is on clear problem-solving, behavior change, and coping skills that fit daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete changes to reduce anger and anxiety. This approach is useful for work stress, reactive responses, and mood management.She also uses trauma-focused methods that help people process past hurts and learn emotion regulation skills. That kind of work supports people whose anger links back to trauma or ongoing stressors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients often start with practical skills and then add deeper work as needed.
If you want online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can fit a work break, audio-only can use less bandwidth, and video sessions allow practice of communication skills in real time. Licensed professionals can help you choose the format that fits your schedule and goals.
