About Clara
Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or compulsive behaviors. Clara works with adolescents, college-aged people, and adults who want clearer coping tools and steadier emotional balance.
Her approach is warm and non-judgmental. She prioritizes building a trusting relationship so clients can talk openly about shame, guilt, or painful habits.
Background and approach
Sessions combine emotional listening with practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Clara often helps people troubled by eating or exercise concerns, social media and internet gaming struggles, gambling, or other high-risk behaviors. She also supports clients who are navigating hard relationship dynamics and attachment-related worries.
These issues commonly come with layered feelings that make reaching out feel risky, and she aims to make that first step easier. In the room she blends talk-based work with skills practice. That can mean noticing the thoughts and beliefs that keep someone stuck and then trying new coping strategies between sessions.
The goal is steadier mood, fewer reactive moments, and clearer choices that match personal values. Her background includes work with grief, addictions, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and life changes like adoption or blended family challenges. Clara meets people where they are and supports steady progress toward realistic goals.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connections. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance and practice different responses when relationships trigger anxiety or withdrawal.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace so people can name feelings and build confidence in their own decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It involves noticing thought patterns, testing them, and trying small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan based on what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face for longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, skills practice between sessions, or ongoing support when a quick message helps more than waiting for the next appointment.
