About Clara

Clara Solomon-Carmack is an LPC who uses a warm, supportive approach to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. She focuses on creating a trusting relationship where clients can talk openly. Sessions emphasize practical skills alongside understanding so people can start to feel steadier day to day.

Clara has six years of professional experience providing care in Tennessee. She works with adolescents, college-age adults, and adults who struggle with eating and exercise concerns, heavy social media use, internet gaming and gambling, and other high-risk behaviors. She also helps people who are coping with grief, addiction, and major life changes.

Her approach blends listening with actionable steps. She and the client look at patterns that influence thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Together they build coping skills tailored to the client's goals and routine.

Attachment issues and abandonment concerns are among the additional areas she addresses, along with body image, codependency, and communication problems. Clara also supports people dealing with chronic illness or caregiver stress and those facing blended family or commitment challenges.

Expect a nonjudgmental space where the therapist balances encouragement with concrete strategies. The work aims to reduce shame, increase insight, and help clients make changes that fit their lives.

How Clara’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like noticing how past connections affect trust and closeness, and practicing new ways of connecting that reduce anxiety in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own insight and make choices that match their values. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, listening presence to sort through confusing feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In practical terms this means identifying specific thinking traps and trying experiments or new habits to see measurable change in mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clara will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions and pacing so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow quieter surroundings when needed, and let someone check in during a break from work. Licensed professionals generally adapt the same therapeutic tools to work well over distance when the format fits the client’s routine.
