Karem Garza-Solis

Karem Garza-Solis is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationships, family concerns, grief, and parenting. She works in both English and Spanish.

Karem frames sessions around practical coping skills. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Conversations often include skill practice and small experiments between sessions.

Her style is collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person and then helps them map simple steps forward. That can mean breaking big problems into manageable tasks, testing new ways of communicating, or building routines to reduce overwhelm.

Karem also addresses attachment and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. She supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and grief while also attending to mood and panic symptoms.

People who are juggling major life changes or who feel stuck about life purpose often find this approach practical. She emphasizes clear tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, she asks a few questions about current concerns and goals and then co-creates a plan that fits everyday life.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action guided by personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, life direction questions, and when someone wants to act despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new responses to reduce symptoms. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Karem collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. That means sessions can shift between skills practice, values-based planning, and problem-solving depending on what helps most.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer phone conversations for lower bandwidth and less focus on camera, while others use video to work on interpersonal skills and nonverbal communication. Licensed professionals can explain which format suits a given goal during the initial matching process.
