About Charlotte
Charlotte Kennedy is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. Charlotte helps people who are dealing with life changes, relationship strain, parenting stress, and addiction-related challenges.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. She uses evidence-based methods to help clients name what is happening and try alternative ways of responding. Work often includes learning behavioral tools, practicing emotion regulation, and improving communication patterns.
Charlotte pays attention to how attachment and early family relationships shape current reactions. That perspective is used to understand patterns in relationships and to build different ways of connecting. Clients who struggle with abandonment, blended family tension, or family-of-origin issues may find this focus helpful.
She also integrates cognitive strategies to spot thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas are used alongside skills training so clients can notice urges without being driven by them. DBT-informed work supports managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive responses.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients set priorities together with Charlotte, then follow a sequence of check-ins, skill practice, and review. The approach is practical, direct, and aimed at helping people function better day to day.
How sessions work
How Charlotte uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, committed actions that move a person toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that reduce impulsive reactions and help manage anger.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. Charlotte will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That decision is revisited as progress is made and priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where conflicts actually occur and to follow up with brief reviews between longer sessions.
