About Karem

Karem Garza-Solis brings 11 years of clinical experience as an LCSW practicing in Utah, guiding people through anxiety, stress, grief, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients build resilience, strengthen self-compassion, and develop coping strategies for issues such as panic attacks, mood challenges, and addictions. Her work also addresses relationship and communication difficulties, caregiver stress, and a range of concerns tied to identity and purpose.

She fosters a non-judgmental environment where exploration and growth take priority, combining a trauma-aware perspective with a focus on empowerment. Sessions aim to identify personal strengths, reframe unhelpful patterns, and create sustainable skills for everyday life.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, she integrates approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and relational methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Karem emphasizes collaboration: clients and therapist work together to set goals, practice new skills, and measure progress.

Her goal is to support clearer communication, improved emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self so individuals can move toward more meaningful and manageable daily living.

Approach-driven care online with flexible access

Karem commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and many everyday stressors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult internal experiences, and committing to actions that support a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karem works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback to make sure treatment feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow ongoing support between sessions, and accommodate different communication preferences while working with a licensed professional.
