About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of practice in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Kara works in a straightforward, supportive way so people feel heard and understood from the start.
She adapts her approach to each person she meets rather than using one fixed method. That means sessions can include practical tools for coping, strategies to change unhelpful thinking, and movements toward healing from difficult memories.
How Kara works
Kara often combines parts of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, EMDR elements, and motivational interviewing to match a person’s needs. Many people come for help with self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, or major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, fertility or adoption-related stress, body image struggles, and substance use issues.
Kara pays attention to family of origin dynamics, attachment concerns, and how past experiences shape current choices. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set small goals and builds skills they can use between sessions.
Conversations aim to be practical and focused on what will make life easier day to day. Starting therapy with Kara includes identifying immediate priorities and creating a clear plan for change. She values steady progress and respects the courage it takes to begin this work.

How Kara's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday problems that get in the way of functioning.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kara discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors sessions to match what is most helpful. That might mean focusing on skill-building one week and processing difficult memories another week. She checks in regularly so the plan stays aligned with the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers several ways to meet so care fits a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions work well when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in quickly, keep momentum between longer sessions, or have shorter touchpoints during a workday. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
