Solomon Stretch, LPC

Solomon Stretch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship tensions, and the strain of major life changes. Solomon approaches each person with respect and a focus on practical steps they can try between sessions.

He works from the view that clients know their own stories best and already hold strengths to build on. In sessions he listens closely, clarifies what matters most, and helps set small, achievable goals. Conversations often include looking at patterns, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what works or needs adjusting.

Solomon blends several approaches to meet different needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Attachment-based methods and emotionally-focused ideas guide work around connection, trust, and relationship patterns. He also uses client-centered and existential perspectives to honor personal meaning and choice.

Beyond common concerns, Solomon addresses a wide range of focus areas including abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, kink and alternative sex culture, chronic pain and illness, addiction, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS, men’s issues, midlife transitions, veteran-related matters, mood disorders, and multicultural concerns.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Solomon aims to create a clear plan and to empower clients to try changes at a manageable pace. He encourages people to take the next step when they are ready.

Online approaches that guide change and connection

Solomon uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques often involve setting clear goals, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress to see what changes help mood and daily functioning.

He also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to address patterns in close relationships. These approaches look at how early connection styles affect trust and interaction today, and they help people practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Solomon treats the first few sessions as a time to understand a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, then suggests options to try together. He welcomes feedback and adjusts methods as work progresses to keep it useful and realistic.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions can simplify times with limited bandwidth, and messaging formats allow brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
