About Charlotte

Charlotte Kennedy is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem and coping with life changes. Charlotte also works with people facing parenting strain, relationship difficulties, grief, and addiction-related issues.

She uses plain, practical methods in sessions. Charlotte helps people notice what matters to them, practice new ways of responding, and make changes that fit their daily life. Conversations cover specific situations that cause worry or avoidance, and they include simple skills to reduce overwhelm and improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means sessions may include values clarification, straightforward behavior experiments, and attention to how early relationships affect current struggles.

Over seven years she has supported people with workplace stress, parenting pressures, relationship problems, and the aftermath of trauma. She pays attention to patterns such as control issues, commitment worries, and family of origin concerns, and helps clients find manageable next steps.

Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the service's scheduling tools. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when booking and follow the platform prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.

How Charlotte blends approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding to social fears or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how they shape current connections, useful for relationship strain and recurring trust issues.

Finding the right approach often takes some experimentation. Charlotte works with clients to identify what fits their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping. The process is collaborative and paced so clients can try strategies and see what feels manageable.

Session formats should be confirmed at booking; the platform's scheduling tools will show the current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her during the matching questionnaire and first session about practical needs like timing, length of meetings, and whether a quieter setting or turning off video would help during a check-in.
