Clara Solomon-Carmack, LPC

Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a key part of her work. She offers a warm, supportive style and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or addictive behaviors. Clara emphasizes practical steps alongside understanding to help clients move forward.

Clara listens for the patterns that shape a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions. She then helps identify small changes that can reduce anxiety, ease low mood, and limit compulsive behaviors. Sessions balance emotional support with concrete strategies so people leave with tools they can try between meetings.

Concerns Clara often addresses include coping with life changes, problem behavior around eating or online activities, grief, and relationship struggles. She also works with people facing issues related to abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image. The focus is on manageable goals and real-world coping skills.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from attachment work and emotion-focused methods. Clara uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need help with strong emotions or distress tolerance. This mix helps tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Clara draws on six years of professional experience in clinical settings in Tennessee. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly, try new ways of responding, and steadily build better coping habits.

How therapy approaches work online

Clara commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with clients. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people build safer ways of connecting and responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. That collaborative process lets the therapist adjust techniques over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when depth and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief updates, between-session support, or when someone prefers typing instead of speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access consistent care.
