About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and life changes. Kara also focuses on relationship and family concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Kara uses a client-centered approach and mixes several methods to match each person's needs. She commonly draws on EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Sessions typically involve practical skills, talking through patterns, and finding steps that fit everyday life.
Many people she sees have dealt with domestic violence, acute crisis, or trauma. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care, attachment questions, blended family dynamics, and fertility or family-of-origin issues. Addiction concerns including drug and alcohol problems appear in her caseload as well.
Kara prefers straightforward work in session. That can look like identifying one or two priorities, practicing coping skills, and trying new ways of communicating. She also uses processing methods for traumatic memories when that seems helpful.
Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. She helps people set practical steps and checks progress along the way. If someone is unsure where to begin, she starts with a short assessment and builds a plan from there.
BHow sessions work
How Kara’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It emphasizes the client’s goals and practical steps rather than imposing a set plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and activity; it uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, involves guided processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and is often used for people with a history of trauma.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what is useful and what the client prefers.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current online options before booking. Ask about session length and whether work will include skill practice, memory processing, or motivational interviewing-style conversations so you can pick what fits your schedule and needs.
