About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship difficulties, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Kara also lists blended family issues, attachment concerns, and adoption and foster care among her focus areas.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She leans on client-centered care and mixes practical tools from EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear skills, safety planning when needed, and step-by-step problem solving.
Kara has experience supporting people after domestic violence and during acute crises. She helps people sort priorities, manage overwhelming emotions, and plan next steps. She also supports those facing career stress, compassion fatigue, body image concerns, and substance-related challenges.
In sessions she uses straightforward language and concrete strategies. Expect work on thoughts, behaviors, coping skills, and processing difficult memories when appropriate. She will adapt methods as progress is made and goals change.
Kara practices from Tennessee and conducts work in English. Her practice model emphasizes collaboration: the client and therapist decide together what to try. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means time is spent understanding the problem, setting goals, and adjusting pace to what feels doable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns by teaching concrete skills for day-to-day situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those tools help when feelings feel intense or when coping strategies have become less effective.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week. They may also let someone choose shorter check-ins or avoid travel on tough days. Ask about formats and timing when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
