About Kara

Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with 8 years of experience supporting people through a range of challenges. She works with individuals facing substance abuse, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, trauma, and acute crisis, offering practical strategies and empathic support tailored to each person’s needs.

Kara favors a client-centered approach, meeting people where they are and building treatment plans collaboratively. She integrates elements of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to address symptoms and build coping skills. This flexible blend allows her to adapt techniques to the goals and preferences of each client while drawing on research-informed practices.

She views therapy as a weekly investment in personal growth rather than a sign that something is wrong, and she aims to help clients identify steps toward meaningful change. Kara emphasizes empowerment, practical skills, and ongoing learning, and she works alongside clients to clarify priorities and make progress at a sustainable pace. She welcomes the opportunity to support people as they navigate healing and new directions in their lives.

How Kara Fedore Brings Therapeutic Approaches to Online Care

Kara uses a client-centered framework that prioritizes each person’s goals and strengths, creating a collaborative atmosphere where the client guides the pace and focus of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is incorporated for those processing traumatic memories - it involves structured bilateral stimulation and guided processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kara works with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative decision making helps tailor care so it feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access licensed professionals from their own environments. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency, try different communication styles, and fit therapy into busy lives while still engaging in meaningful, evidence-informed work with a therapist.
