About Charlotte

Dr. Charlotte Kennedy is a Tennessee psychologist (TN Psychologist 671) with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, and major life changes. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and career or parenting stress.

Charlotte meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps during sessions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what someone wants to change. She uses listening and reflective feedback so people can make sense of their thoughts and reactions.

Her work often includes techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Mindfulness-based practices are used to reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment noticing. Motivational interviewing shows up when someone wants help setting and keeping achievable goals.

Over four decades she has supported people through life transitions like leaving home, changing jobs, illness, and caregiving. Sessions commonly address communication problems, commitment and attachment worries, and the fallout of family conflict or blended family situations. Practical concerns such as work stress, first-responder strain, fertility or cancer-related stress are also within her range.

She offers care in English from Tennessee and does not accept international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform's process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and working from the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow what matters most and respond to immediate concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practice tasks to change patterns. Delivered online, CBT often includes homework and brief skill drills between sessions that fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful and adjust them as goals change. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and shifting focus when needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school or work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches, like CBT, adapt well to homework and brief video or phone follow-ups, while client-centered conversations often suit a longer weekly meeting. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to clarify which session arrangements will work best.
