About Clara
Clara Solomon-Carmack is a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and helping people cope with life changes. Her manner is warm and non-judgmental, and she aims to build a trusting connection so clients can speak honestly about hard things.
Clara often helps people who struggle with compulsive behaviors related to eating, exercise, gaming, gambling, and social media. She also supports those dealing with relationship hurt, guilt, and shame that make reaching out feel scary.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded, with room for understanding and steady encouragement. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals central.
Cognitive behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used to change unhelpful thoughts and teach coping skills. Clara pays attention to problems that often occur alongside one another, such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, codependency, and mood concerns. She also addresses issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment worries, and blended family stress.
The approach is to notice patterns, talk through how they show up in daily life, and practice new ways of responding. Work with Clara typically mixes emotional understanding with clear strategies. She helps people identify small, doable steps to reduce distress and build better routines.
The aim is steady progress toward the goals each person brings to therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect today. It helps when worries about closeness, abandonment, or trust affect mood and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the individual wants to change and keeps the person’s goals front and center; the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and uses simple exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that fit, adjust as needed, and track progress so the work stays focused and practical.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving duties.
