About Clara

Clara Solomon-Carmack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She centers her work on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy while blending relational and emotion-focused strategies.

Background and approach

Clara approaches therapy with warmth and a nonjudgmental stance, prioritizing a trusting connection that lets clients name difficult feelings and patterns. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and major life transitions, and pays close attention to issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency.

Clara also supports clients dealing with compulsive behaviors related to eating, exercise, gaming, gambling, and other high-risk activities that often carry guilt and shame. Therapy with Clara emphasizes both understanding and practical skill building.

She works collaboratively to identify the beliefs and habits that sustain distress and then introduces coping strategies and behavioral changes aligned with each person’s goals. Her style balances empathy, clear structure, and encouragement to help clients make measurable progress over time.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Clara blends cognitive behavioral therapy with attachment-based and client-centered principles to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns. Attachment-based therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonds to help clients understand how past relational dynamics shape current feelings and interactions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting the person where they are to foster trust and self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Clara works with each client to clarify goals and preferences, then tailors interventions so therapy feels relevant and manageable. She combines practical strategies with relational understanding to support progress at a client’s pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These options allow clients to access consistent support while using methods like CBT skills practice and attachment-focused conversations in ways that fit everyday life.
