About Clara
Clara Solomon-Carmack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She works with adolescents, college-age people, and adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and relationship problems. Her practice includes helping people who struggle with eating, exercise, social media, internet gaming and gambling, high-risk behaviors, and difficult relationships. Guilt and shame are noted as common parts of these struggles and can make reaching out harder.
Clara uses a blend of approaches to understand how patterns form and persist. She pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics that shape expectations and reactions. She also incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and urges.
Sessions include listening for the beliefs and habits that feed guilt and shame. Clara balances understanding with practical strategies to change daily routines and coping skills. People can expect to talk through recent events and past experiences to see how they connect to current behavior.
Clara frames work as collaborative. She helps clients set concrete goals and practices small, repeatable skills between sessions. That may include thought records, emotion regulation exercises, or communication practice related to attachment patterns.
Her Tennessee LPC credential is listed as LPC. Sessions are conducted in English. For those unsure how to begin, the profile directs clients to the online therapy options and matching process to schedule a first session.
How Clara’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, abandonment fears, and communication habits that feed guilt or shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real experience. CBT provides concrete practices to change thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating strong emotions and managing urges, which can be useful when compulsive behaviors or intense guilt feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with attachment-focused conversation, adding CBT exercises, or teaching DBT skills based on what shows up in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also makes it practical to build skills into daily life between sessions. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to what a person can realistically practice outside of appointments.
