About Kara
LCSW Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship strain, grief around life changes, and trauma. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.
Kara uses a client-centered approach as the foundation of her work. She blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing to fit each person’s needs. That means sessions often include skill practice, thought-behavior tracking, and targeted processing of difficult memories when appropriate.
She has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, acute crisis, and long-term trauma. Kara also helps with adoption and foster care matters, attachment questions, blended family challenges, and issues tied to fertility, body image, or family of origin patterns. Addiction and codependency concerns are within her focus as well.
In a typical session she asks practical questions, listens for what matters most, and offers exercises you can try between meetings. Work may include building coping strategies, improving communication, addressing shame and guilt, or using EMDR-informed processing for traumatic memories.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. If you’re unsure where to start she will help clarify priorities and create a plan. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions focus on
Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens first and shapes sessions around your goals. The focus is on understanding what matters to you and working together to set practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to process and reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. When appropriate, elements of EMDR may be used to help with trauma-related symptoms and painful memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your history, current concerns, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That plan can change as you learn what helps and what does not; decisions are collaborative and adjusted over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. The practical advantages often cited for remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel time. Therapists can assign between-session exercises and use brief skill practice during meetings to help carry progress into daily life.
