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 struggles.

Her approach is warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. She focuses on building trust so people can talk openly about guilt, shame, and the patterns that keep them stuck. Clara helps clients identify how thoughts, feelings, and actions feed one another and where change is possible.

Clara draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters most, attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns, and cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused methods when those fit the goal.

Sessions aim to balance understanding with practical steps. Clara helps people develop coping skills for emotions, manage compulsive behaviors around food, exercise, gaming, or gambling, and handle communication and commitment concerns. She supports those navigating grief, addiction-related issues, chronic illness, and the stress of caregiving.

People can expect a collaborative process that meets them where they are. Clara works with each person to set realistic goals and build the skills to move forward.

How Clara’s Approaches Work Online

Clara uses client-centered therapy and attachment-based ideas to build a trusting, collaborative relationship. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so goals arise from what matters most. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people notice and change those patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more useful ones. CBT tools can be applied to anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and mood challenges in clear, step-by-step exercises that clients can practice between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Clara will discuss the different methods, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps people feel involved in choosing what feels most helpful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about available options and which will fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy is simpler to attend.
