About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She has eight years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, and relationship struggles. Kara presents therapy as a practical weekly appointment where people can work on goals and make steady changes.
Her approach is client-centered and adaptable. She blends elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on real problems and usable skills rather than abstract labels.
Kara has experience supporting people who have faced trauma, domestic violence, and acute crisis, and she also addresses issues like codependency, attachment concerns, and family of origin patterns. She frames therapy as teamwork and emphasizes small, achievable steps toward better coping and clearer choices.
She encourages people to recognize the effort it takes to begin therapy and to treat sessions as an investment in themselves. Kara aims to help people find practical strategies for managing emotions, improving communication, and navigating life transitions. She also works on motivation and behavior change in cases of substance use.
Kara welcomes straightforward conversations about goals and hesitations. If someone is unsure where to begin, she will help identify priorities and set a manageable plan for therapy work.
How Kara's Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people set goals, then adjusts the pace and focus to those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to reduce crisis moments and improve day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adapt techniques based on progress, preferences, and goals. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and useful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also gives people more flexibility to choose a time that works around work, school, or caregiving. Licensed professionals can offer the same conversational, skills-focused work online as they do in person, while tailoring pacing and tools to what suits each person best.
