About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Kennedy is a Tennessee psychologist with 40 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, depression, and life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, and concerns around eating and sleeping.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to how daily life feels and helps people break concerns into manageable steps. Sessions often include clear tools to try between appointments and brief check-ins about what is working.
Dr. Kennedy uses several practical approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to test small changes. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s priorities as the conversation’s center. Mindfulness techniques help with attention and stress regulation, and Motivational Interviewing supports goal-focused change.
She draws on decades of clinical work to match methods to a person’s situation. That can mean building simple routines for sleep and eating, practicing social or communication skills, or planning steps to reduce overwhelming stress. The focus is on useful, doable strategies rather than long explanations.
People who come for help often want concrete steps to feel more in control and to manage daily challenges. Dr. Kennedy works in English and practices in Tennessee. International clients are not accepted.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities, giving them the lead in setting goals and topics for each session. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, then tests small changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood changes, sleep and eating routines, and managing stressful situations.
Mindfulness Therapy offers exercises for attention and stress management, such as brief breathing practices and noticing sensation. These techniques can support regulation during moments of intense worry or reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and the types of difficulties they bring. That way sessions can focus on what feels helpful and realistic.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when days are busy. Many people find that remote sessions let them try techniques in everyday settings and then discuss what changed at the next appointment.
