About Charlotte
Charlotte Kennedy is a licensed social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She uses practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on real change rather than jargon.
Charlotte aims to create a steady, supportive space where clients can name problems and try out new ways of coping. She blends approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies to meet everyday needs.
How Charlotte works
Sessions often focus on small, teachable skills - managing strong emotions, reducing avoidance, and building healthier routines. Charlotte also works with attachment-related concerns and family-of-origin issues when they affect current life and relationships. Many conversations cover communication, boundaries, and parenting pressures.
She helps people facing grief, workplace stress, addiction concerns, or big life shifts by breaking challenges into manageable steps. Practical tools and short experiments are used between sessions to test what works. Charlotte has seven years of clinical experience.
She explains therapeutic ideas in plain language and adapts methods to each person’s situation. The goal is steady progress toward clearer values, better coping, and more satisfying day-to-day functioning. She offers phone and video sessions as well as live chat and text-based messaging.
New clients begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy process.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for stress, low mood, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Charlotte will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time, using skills practice or acceptance work as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video lets conversation flow much like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief coaching, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing things out. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and try different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
