Clara Solomon-Carmack, LPC

Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and major life changes. She works with adolescents, college-age clients, and adults who feel overwhelmed by compulsive behaviors or relationship problems. Her approach aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can begin to untangle what feels out of control.

Clara uses a blend of client-centered techniques and evidence-informed tools to identify the patterns behind thoughts and actions. She listens for the stories that keep clients stuck and helps them test small changes in daily life. Practical skills for coping and emotional regulation are paired with a steady focus on the client-therapist relationship.

Her work often addresses concerns tied to attachment, abandonment, and blended family stress, as well as issues around body image, eating behaviors, and high-risk activities like problematic gaming or gambling. She also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiving strain, and co-occurring challenges that complicate recovery.

Sessions emphasize clear, usable strategies alongside space to process guilt, shame, and grief. Clara aims to meet clients where they are and build momentum toward goals at a manageable pace. She encourages honest conversation and practical steps that fit into everyday life.

With six years of professional experience in Tennessee, Clara draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy while keeping the work grounded and person-focused. The goal is steady progress, not sudden fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Clara draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when trust, abandonment worries, or repeating relationship patterns cause distress. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and compulsive habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are often used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Clara will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a few ways of working and adjusting as goals shift over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work when they relocate within the same state. Clara aims to help clients apply therapeutic skills to day-to-day life, whether sessions happen in person or through confirmed online arrangements.
