Charlotte Kennedy

Charlotte Kennedy is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She brings seven years of clinical experience and focuses on practical ways to handle hard emotions and everyday problems.

She uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people rebuild self-esteem and manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions often include skills for coping with depression, trauma, workplace stress, and relationship conflict. Charlotte pays attention to each person’s history and what matters most to them.

Her work includes support for parenting challenges, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. She also addresses substance use and behaviors related to addiction in a nonjudgmental way. People come to her for help with grief, career stress, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

Charlotte draws on several clinical approaches to match the needs of each person. She blends cognitive tools, acceptance strategies, and emotion regulation skills so people can try different ways of coping. The goal is to build practical routines that fit daily life and reduce intense reactions like anger.

Based in Michigan, Charlotte speaks English and works with adults who want to make steady changes. To begin, she asks a few questions to understand goals and then tailors a plan that feels doable for the person in front of her.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them how to move toward a meaningful life despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems like anxiety or depression going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, habits, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people try short check-ins or skills practice between commitments. It can also make some tasks simpler, like scheduling around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for distance sessions so clients can practice coping tools at home and bring those experiences back into the work together.
