About Lavon
Lavon Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, relationship and family problems, grief, and related challenges.
She helps children, adolescents, and adults navigate mental health, medical, educational, and social systems. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can take to address care plans and daily struggles. Clark draws on a long history in caregiving roles to inform her clinical work.
Before becoming an LCSW she spent decades in child care, as a therapeutic foster parent for teen girls, and in paraprofessional and mental health aide roles. Those earlier roles shape how she thinks about supports, routines, and the needs of young people and adults alike. Her formal education 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 uses the Person-In-Environment approach to keep attention on what matters most in a client's life. She incorporates evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-focused methods, narrative and solution-focused techniques, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. The focus is on identifying concrete areas a person wants to change and on steps they can take.
Clark aims to help people who are ready to address obstacles that interfere with their goals. She offers direct, practical support and helps clients plan next steps they can try between meetings.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Lavon uses cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused approaches that translate into clear, skill-building work. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Trauma-focused methods help people process past distress and learn coping strategies to manage triggers and intrusive memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and current challenges with the client and suggest which techniques to try first. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as a client's needs change.
