  1. About Kara

    Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship strains. Kara aims to make coming to therapy feel like a planned time to invest in yourself rather than a sign that something is wrong.

    Kara has worked with people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and acute crisis. She also supports those dealing with issues around adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, fertility and parenting stress, body image, and substance use. Her experience includes helping people navigate career changes, grief, isolation, and compassion fatigue.

    Her work is client-centered. Kara adapts methods to fit each person’s needs, drawing on Motivational Interviewing along with elements of cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and practical skills people can use between meetings.

    Kara emphasizes collaboration. She helps people clarify what matters to them, set achievable goals, and notice progress over time. If you’re unsure where to begin, she encourages starting with curiosity rather than pressure.

    She invites people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out to consider therapy as a way to regain direction and strength. The first step is simply reaching out and exploring whether her style fits your needs.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance to strengthen motivation for steps like reducing substance use or changing habits.

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. Sessions emphasize listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to clarify goals and choices.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, and stress in daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kara will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques as people try them and notice what helps most.

    The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting care into busy lives. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work, school, or caregiving. Confirm the specific session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats explicitly. The focus is on regular, manageable sessions and tools people can use between meetings to make steady progress.
