About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with eight years of experience. She greets new clients with warmth and practical support, and she frames therapy as a regular investment in personal growth. Kara focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. She also pays attention to compassion fatigue and relationship concerns.
Kara tailors sessions to each person's needs. Her work draws heavily on client-centered care, with tools from EMDR, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. In a session she listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable goals. Meetings tend to be conversational and focused on real changes that fit daily life.
People come to Kara for trauma, domestic violence aftermath, and crisis work as well as longer-term challenges like self-esteem and family of origin issues. She also offers support around adoption and foster care questions and attachment concerns. Her background includes practical experience with substance use and recovery issues.
Kara emphasizes a collaborative style. She works with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and pace. That partnership includes checking in about what is or isn’t helping and making adjustments as needed.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Kara invites a simple first step: talk about what matters most right now, then build a plan from there. She aims to empower people to move forward with small, steady steps.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Kara uses client-centered therapy, which means she starts by listening and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the direction for practical work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it gives clear skills to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes short, teachable skills for handling stress, which can be helpful when someone is navigating career strain, caregiving burnout, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative decision guides which methods are emphasized and when to try different techniques.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people appreciate being able to schedule a shorter check-in on a break or a longer session when they can set aside more time. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing, homework, and skill practice to match everyday life.
