Karem Garza-Solis , LCSW

Karem Garza-Solis is a licensed clinical social worker in Utah with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing grief, life changes, and challenges related to addiction or parenting.

She keeps sessions practical and grounded. Conversations aim to identify what feels stuck and build simple, repeatable strategies. She encourages small steps that add up to clearer thinking and steadier moods.

Karem uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance-based and client-centered methods to help people connect with their values and strengths.

Her work often touches on relationships, communication breakdowns, and blended family concerns. She helps people who are navigating divorce, caregiver stress, or complicated grief to find routines and coping skills that fit their lives.

Karem speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions understandable and down-to-earth. She focuses on listening without judgment and helping people practice new habits between meetings. If someone wants a therapist who balances practical tools with empathic support, she may be a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding more purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then testing small changes to get different results. It often helps with panic, social anxiety, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Karem will talk with someone about goals, worries, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or another method fits best, and try adjustments as needed over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or get brief support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work when travel or timing would otherwise be a barrier.
