About Charlotte

Dr. Charlotte Kennedy is a Tennessee psychologist with 40 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship difficulties. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating concerns, and workplace strain.

She listens for patterns that keep the same problems repeating. Sessions focus on practical steps that reduce reactivity and rebuild calm. She uses straightforward conversation, skill practice, and short exercises clients can try between sessions.

Dr. Kennedy draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to increase present-moment awareness and boost readiness for change.

The work includes talking through specific situations where anger or frustration shows up. Clients learn techniques to notice triggers, pause before responding, and choose alternative actions. There is attention to relationship patterns that feed resentment or repeated conflict.

Her emphases include building clearer communication, managing career and caregiving stress, and addressing attachment or abandonment concerns. People also bring issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions for practical support. Dr. Kennedy practices in Tennessee as TN Psychologist 671 and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the client. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's goals, helping people talk through issues such as anger, relationship strain, or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear steps and experiments to change reactions and reduce strong emotional responses to triggers.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice feelings and body signals. It helps people respond more deliberately instead of reacting on impulse, which can be useful for managing anger and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to emphasize, based on their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That process is practical and adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, less time on camera, or scheduling during breaks to keep therapy workable in a busy life.
