About Clara

Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She works with adolescents, college-age clients, and adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and relationship problems.

She helps people dealing with eating and exercise concerns, heavy social media use, internet gaming and gambling, and other high-risk behaviors. Grief, addiction-related struggles, and the guilt or shame that often comes with these issues are also part of her focus.

Clara uses a blend of practical strategies and relational work. She pays attention to patterns that drive feelings and actions, and she practices ways to change unhelpful responses. Expect conversations about how beliefs and behaviors link together, and step-by-step skills to try between sessions.

Her approach draws on attachment-based methods, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused ideas. Sessions combine understanding with concrete exercises aimed at meeting the goals a person sets.

People looking for help with life changes, coping after loss, or persistent stress will find a straightforward, skills-oriented clinician who also emphasizes a trusting therapeutic relationship. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to complete a questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape present reactions. In sessions this looks like talking about connection, noticing patterns in close relationships, and practicing new ways of relating to others and oneself. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying brief behavioral experiments between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful for people who experience strong mood swings or struggle with impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as different strategies are tried and evaluated together.

Session delivery details are not specified here, so confirm current online formats before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and whether video or a simpler option would better suit your day.
