About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship concerns, and compassion fatigue. Kara also lists family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and adoption or foster care matters among her focus areas.
She favors a client-centered approach. That means conversations begin with what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions often mix tools from EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing depending on what is helpful.
In a typical session she listens to the immediate problem, helps identify patterns that may come from family history, and then works with the client on practical steps. Those steps can include behavior changes, emotion regulation skills, or processing difficult memories using guided methods. She also supports people managing life transitions, career stress, and challenges with self-esteem.
Kara aims to be straightforward and collaborative. She encourages people who feel unsure about where to start and helps set focused, manageable goals. Her work includes attention to blended family dynamics, communication problems, codependency, and substance use concerns.
People who come for help with family of origin issues or childhood attachment patterns can expect a mix of practical skill-building and deeper work on how early relationships still affect current choices. The emphasis is on making changes that fit daily life and on clear steps that move toward the goals discussed in sessions.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. It centers the client's priorities and uses conversation to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that maintain problems. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking issues into concrete steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first and adjust as needs and goals change. That process often starts with short-term goals and practical skills, then moves to deeper processing if needed.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. Video or phone sessions can also let someone use quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or a shorter time block to attend a session. Work with the therapist to set a rhythm and structure that fits daily life and personal goals.
