About Clark
Clark Hammond is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Utah with more than two decades of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He holds a master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Brigham Young University and a non-clinical doctorate in Human Development & Family Studies from Oregon State University, and his background spans independent practice, residential treatment, young adult transition programs, and wilderness therapy.
Clark approaches therapy with a client-centered ethos, treating sessions as collaborative work that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. He brings a systems-informed perspective that considers relationships and life context, and he also incorporates concepts from Positive Psychology to help clients build strengths and resilience.
Across hundreds of client interactions and nearly eight years teaching graduate clinicians, Clark has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and transitions such as divorce or separation.
He offers flexible online options to connect with clients beyond his independent practice and welcomes international clients who seek practical, growth-oriented support.
Practical approaches for online growth
Clark blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online sessions in ways that are straightforward and collaborative. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression, offering concrete tools for changing how everyday problems are managed. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal discovery and self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Clark works together with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, values, and circumstances. He aims to tailor techniques and pacing so interventions feel practical and relevant, revising plans as progress and preferences emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These options make consistent contact easier to maintain and let clients choose the communication style that fits their daily life while engaging in the same evidence-informed approaches typically used in person.
