Karem Garza-Solis, LCSW

Karem Garza-Solis is a licensed clinical social worker in Utah with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She focuses on building practical skills that make daily life easier. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Karem creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through painful feelings. She emphasizes empathy and respect while helping clients notice patterns that get in the way. The aim is to find realistic steps that fit each person's life.

Her work often centers on anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, and challenges tied to addiction or separation. Multicultural concerns and women's issues are part of her focus as well.

Karem uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping tools. She blends these approaches with a client-centered attitude so people feel heard while learning new skills.

Sessions can include skill practice for panic management, paced work on unhelpful thoughts, and exercises to increase self-compassion. Karem works step by step to help people build resilience and clearer direction in life.

How therapy approaches translate online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and thought records to interrupt unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or panic symptoms.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing difficult emotions without getting stuck. It pairs values-based goals with small behavior changes to help people move toward a more meaningful life despite discomfort.

Karem will work together with each person to decide which approach feels most useful. That choice is collaborative and might change over time as goals evolve and progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or during a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more frequently between sessions or use quick coaching-style support. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
