Gilbert Clark, LPC, LPCC

Gilbert Clark is an LPC, LPCC practicing in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

He draws on cognitive and mindfulness tools along with narrative and solution-focused ideas to build practical plans. That means clients can expect concrete strategies for managing strong emotions, and exercises that practice new habits between sessions. He also integrates work on attachment and intimacy-related issues when those patterns affect daily life and relationships.

Gilbert has experience across treatment settings and with diverse people. He describes his work as person-centered and trauma-informed, using techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He helps people move through phases of addiction care, from assessment to stabilization and maintenance.

He brings creativity into sessions and outside projects, using music and experiential ideas to support recovery and personal growth. That can mean writing, rhythm-based exercises, or other expressive approaches when they fit a client's goals. Practical problem solving is combined with attention to how past relationships shape current reactions.

People often come for help with impulse control, codependency, control issues, and compulsive behaviors. He also works with concerns like caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, hoarding, and forgiveness, focusing on what someone can do differently now.
