About Clara

Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She brings six years of clinical experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictive or compulsive behaviors. Her approach is warm and non-judgmental, aimed at building trust so clients can talk openly about what’s hard right now.

Clara focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. She helps people notice patterns linked to eating, exercise, social media, gaming, gambling, and other high-risk behaviors. Many clients also bring feelings of guilt, shame, or loss, and she works gently to make those topics easier to address.

Sessions blend understanding with practical tools. Clara listens first, then helps clients test small changes that can reduce anxiety and improve coping. She uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused ideas to match each person’s needs.

Her goal is to help clients build clearer thinking habits and steadier routines. That might mean learning new ways to manage urges, improving communication skills, or creating healthier daily habits. Clara aims for steady progress through realistic steps and encouragement.

People who choose Clara can expect a respectful, collaborative partnership. She supports people as they identify patterns, try different strategies, and move toward goals at a manageable pace.

How her therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. It helps people notice patterns in trust, abandonment fears, and emotional needs so they can try new ways of connecting and feeling safer in relationships.

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead, supporting them as they clarify goals and decide what changes matter most in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and build routines that reduce anxiety, manage urges, and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and how someone reacts to different strategies. That process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current options before booking so you know what’s available. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work between commitments, phone calls require less bandwidth, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment-based, client-centered, and CBT techniques to remote sessions to focus on thinking habits, coping strategies, and relationship patterns.
