Clara Solomon-Carmack , LPC

Clara Solomon-Carmack uses an approach grounded in attachment and client-centered work. She brings a calm, supportive presence and practical strategies to sessions. Clara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with six years of experience.

She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. Clara also addresses struggles with compulsive behaviors and addictions, and common concerns such as body image, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Many clients also bring issues tied to abandonment, attachment, adoption or foster care histories.

Clara emphasizes building trust early so people can talk honestly about guilt, shame, and difficult patterns. Sessions combine listening with concrete tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches. The goal is to recognize unhelpful thoughts and try new coping skills that fit daily life.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at meeting each person where they are. Clara works collaboratively to set goals and track small changes that add up over time. She balances understanding with actionable steps to reduce distress and improve relationships.

People come for short-term problem solving and for deeper work on long-standing patterns. Clara supports concerns related to chronic illness, blended family stress, commitment and control issues, and co-morbid mental health challenges. She offers sessions that match each person's pace and needs.

Attachment and Cognitive Tools for Online Care

Many of Clara's sessions draw from attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and shift how they relate to others. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at everyday thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That planning happens together, and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing new skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing instead of speaking. These options give flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and steady progress with a licensed professional.
