About Charlotte
Charlotte Kennedy is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Her work also addresses parenting, grief, relationship and career concerns.
Charlotte uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She helps clients notice patterns that fuel anger and frustration. Then she works with them to try new responses that reduce conflict and regret.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-focused work. That means looking at thoughts and behaviors while also learning how to tolerate difficult feelings without acting on them. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current reactions.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Clients learn breathing and grounding tools, communication strategies, and ways to set limits. There is time to practice skills and to talk through real situations from work or home.
Charlotte supports people coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, family of origin issues, and parenting stresses. She pays attention to patterns such as control issues, abandonment, and dependent personality dynamics. She also addresses blended family and fatherhood concerns.
Work with Charlotte typically involves setting short-term goals and reviewing progress each week. She asks clients to try small behavior changes between sessions and brings those results back into therapy. This keeps work practical and focused on everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in line with what matters to them. It is useful for handling persistent anger, rumination, and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It suits problems like anger outbursts, workplace frustration, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and can help when anger is tied to trust, abandonment, or control issues.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to focus on practical tools that can be used between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to use video or phone depending on bandwidth and comfort. Therapists use these formats to keep skill practice and problem solving focused on everyday situations.
