About Clara

Clara Solomon-Carmack brings a collaborative, evidence-informed approach to therapy that centers on understanding the parts of a person and the attachment patterns that shape relationships. Clara, LPC, combines Internal Family Systems with practical skill-building methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and grief.

Background and approach

She focuses on uncovering the internal and relational patterns that underlie symptoms and on developing concrete coping strategies that support daily functioning. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including compulsive behaviors related to eating, exercise, gaming, social media, and gambling, as well as relationship struggles that often involve shame or guilt.

Clara describes her therapeutic style as warm, supportive, and non-judgmental, emphasizing a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can explore beliefs, emotions, and behavior patterns. Over six years as a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee she blends understanding with practical interventions so clients gain both insight and tools to move forward.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views a person as made up of different parts that hold emotions, beliefs, and roles; using IFS, Clara helps clients gently identify and relate to those parts to reduce internal conflict and self-criticism. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients build more supported ways of relating and coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Clara collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines insight-oriented work with skills-based practices so therapy can address both understanding and daily functioning in ways that feel manageable and meaningful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home. These options offer flexibility in how and when clients engage, allowing for ongoing momentum between sessions and multiple ways to receive guidance and skills practice from a licensed professional.
