About Charlotte

Charlotte Kennedy is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage intense emotions and life changes. She uses a gentle, straightforward style to support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Charlotte aims to make sessions practical and focused so people leave with clear steps they can use right away.

She helps people rebuild self-esteem and improve communication after difficult experiences. Sessions often center on coping skills for work stress, social anxiety, relationship strain, and the ups and downs of parenting and caregiving. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among her additional focus areas and may be discussed in session when relevant.

Charlotte draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth rather than purely academic.

With seven years of practice, Charlotte works to make therapy fit everyday life. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work accordingly. Many clients come for help with grief, addiction, anger, career transitions, or feelings of emptiness and she supports practical next steps.

People meeting with Charlotte can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through hard things. The focus is on building tools that help between sessions and on creating habits that support longer-term change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Charlotte often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take small, manageable steps toward what matters. This approach supports work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on actions rather than getting stuck in difficult thoughts.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationships influence present patterns. That work can help with connection issues, attachment worries, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care histories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and they will decide together which methods feel most useful. The plan can change as therapy progresses to fit what is working.

Confirm current online session options before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep frequent appointments, and reduces travel time. Some formats also make shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions possible when that better suits a day at work or limited bandwidth.
