Kara Fedore

Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on common life struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and relationship challenges. Kara speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone feeling unsure about therapy.

Her work often addresses trauma, domestic violence, and crises that can leave people feeling stuck. She also helps with issues connected to family of origin, adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family concerns, and fertility-related stress. Body image, codependency, and substance use are other areas she supports people through.

Kara uses a client-centered stance and blends practical tools from several approaches to match each person’s needs. She commonly draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and from dialectical behavior methods to teach emotion regulation skills. She also uses EMDR elements and motivational interviewing when those fit the goals.

Her sessions emphasize collaboration and steady progress. Kara encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and to see sessions as time invested in making life better. She works with clients to set clear, achievable goals and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Prospective clients should note she practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. The therapist frames therapy as a shared process and aims to guide each person toward practical change and greater well-being.

How Kara’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a trusting connection. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist follows the client's lead and helps set goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online sessions CBT can include practical exercises, homework, and real-time coaching to try new skills between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotions and improving communication. Delivered online, DBT work often breaks skills into manageable steps and practices them in session so people can use them in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit, and adjust techniques as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what format would best suit your schedule and needs.
