About Charlotte
Charlotte Kennedy is a Licensed Master Social Worker working in Michigan. She uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. Charlotte writes straightforward goals and works alongside clients to make steps feel manageable.
She draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and skills-focused, with an emphasis on building coping tools that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Charlotte also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current reactions. Many people seek her out for parenting concerns, grief, workplace stress, and struggles with self-esteem or relationships. She helps clients sort through complicated feelings and create small, practical plans for change.
When substance use or compassion fatigue are part of the picture, she combines supportive listening with structured strategies. Charlotte has seven years of clinical experience as an LMSW. She keeps explanations clear and avoids jargon so parents and busy adults can follow the work.
Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people move from feeling stuck to taking doable steps. In sessions she focuses on communication skills, emotion regulation strategies, and problem-solving around daily routines. She supports clients who want coaching around career or parenting challenges as well as those processing abandonment, attachment, or family-of-origin issues.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to small actions that match those values. Online ACT work often focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing meaningful behaviors despite them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include brief exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients use between meetings to track progress and build confidence.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication. Online conversations can uncover those patterns and guide changes in how someone relates to others, which is useful for people dealing with relationship or family-of-origin issues.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Charlotte works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what is helpful. She explains options in plain language and checks in regularly to make sure the chosen approach fits the client's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to try therapy without rearranging a whole day and can help keep progress steady over time.
