Cat scratching the carpet

Help! New cat’s tearing up my carpet. I’ve got those scratching post things on both levels of my house, one’s a rope material, the other’s this weird cloth material, but she just wants to tear at the carpet. I don’t want to spray or use too much discipline (wouldnt hesistate with my other cat) because she’s so terrified of me.
