About Clara
Clara Solomon-Carmack is an LPC based in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addictive or compulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties. Her approach is warm and non-judgmental, aimed at building trust so clients can talk openly about what’s hard for them.
She works with adolescents, college-age people, and adults. Clara often supports clients coping with eating and exercise concerns, social media and internet use, gambling, high-risk behaviors, and the guilt or shame that can come with those struggles. She emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional understanding.
In sessions she explores the patterns that influence beliefs, behaviors, and feelings. That work leads to concrete coping strategies tailored to each person’s goals. Clara balances supportive listening with tools that help manage symptoms and make everyday life easier.
Her methods draw on attachment-based work, client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotion-focused ideas. These approaches are used to address issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, body image, chronic pain and illness, and codependency when they relate to a client’s main problems.
Clara meets clients where they are and helps them take small, manageable steps forward. People who want to reduce overwhelm, build newer coping habits, and improve how they relate to others may find this practical, empathic style helpful.

How Clara’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses; it helps when patterns of closeness or fear of abandonment get in the way of feeling stable. Client-centered therapy centers on a respectful, listening stance from the therapist so people can find their own solutions and feel heard during difficult moments. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clara will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and goals, and she adapts techniques as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and try strategies together in session.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during a break, or offering options that don’t require being on camera. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to learn about current online session options and what will work best for your situation.
