About Charlotte
Charlotte Kennedy is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and major life changes. Her focus also includes stress, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties.
Charlotte uses straightforward, skill-based methods to help people notice patterns that get in the way. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work also shape her sessions when related to a person's goals.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning tools for distress, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. She helps clients with communication problems, family of origin issues, and challenges related to adoption or foster care. Career stress, feelings of emptiness, and caregiver strain are also common topics she addresses.
Charlotte pays attention to how relationships and early attachments influence present-day struggles. She supports people working through abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood issues. When substance use or domestic violence are present, she incorporates safety and practical planning into session work.
Her style is direct and practical. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to arrange a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the aimless feeling that often follows major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for stress, low mood, and practical problems like workplace anxiety or study-related pressure.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns in close relationships. This approach is helpful for people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, family of origin problems, and communication difficulties.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which approach or mix of approaches suits their goals and preferences. That discussion guides what skills and exercises are practiced in sessions.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks more easily. Therapists can assign brief between-session exercises and build practical coping skills that apply directly to everyday pressures young adults face.
