Karem Garza-Solis, LCSW - Therapist in Utah

About Karem

Karem Garza-Solis is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Utah. She has 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. She focuses on building practical coping skills and growing self-compassion in everyday life.

Her sessions aim to be calm and straightforward. She listens closely and helps clients identify small changes that make a difference. She emphasizes resilience and workable strategies rather than labels or long-term jargon.

Background and approach

Karem uses several evidence-based methods to address mood struggles and relationship strains. She often combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. These approaches help with panic, low self-esteem, communication problems, and life transitions.

Many of her clients bring issues related to family and parenting, blended family challenges, or caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with addiction, divorce, shame, and multicultural concerns. Sessions include practical tools for emotion regulation and clearer communication.

She works in both English and Spanish and draws on a client-centered stance to tailor treatment. Karem encourages collaboration - clients set goals and the pace. She guides each person toward clearer choices and more confident daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck and focus on actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with panic, mood concerns, and social anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for regulating strong emotions and improving communication during conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods fit a person's situation. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options allow more flexibility for parents and caregivers and help people keep continuity during life changes. Online work still focuses on skill practice, coaching, and building better communication and coping routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
