About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of practice in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Kara aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
Kara meets people where they are and keeps sessions focused on practical steps. She draws on approaches that help people reduce symptoms, cope better day to day, and make clearer choices.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, while still making room to process difficult feelings. She has experience supporting people who have faced trauma, domestic violence, and acute crisis. Kara also works with concerns tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, attachment, and blended family dynamics.
She addresses addiction, codependency, and communication problems with attention to each person’s unique history. In practice Kara uses client-centered methods along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR elements, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. That mix lets her tailor the work to a person's needs and goals.
She adjusts pace and tools so the work feels useful rather than overwhelming. Kara encourages small, steady steps and sees therapy as an investment in the life someone wants. She invites people to explore goals, learn coping skills, and build toward clearer relationships and a stronger sense of purpose.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s needs first and builds sessions around what matters most. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping someone set realistic goals, which can make remote sessions feel focused and relevant.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Online CBT often uses short exercises and skill practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression and improve daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. These skills can be practiced in phone or video sessions and reinforced with brief messages or chat-based check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, test what works, and adjust methods based on progress and preference. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits each person’s life and challenges.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text messaging is useful for brief reflections or between-session support. These options make it easier to keep continuity while fitting therapy into a busy week.
