About Charlotte

Charlotte Kennedy is a Michigan-based licensed social worker who practices with a focus on listening and supporting each person where they are. She uses a client-centered stance to build trust, and she helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult life changes.

She works with people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. She also helps those dealing with parenting stress, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to rebuild self-esteem, improve communication, and develop coping tools that fit daily life.

Charlotte draws on a mix of approaches to meet individual needs. That includes acceptance and commitment ideas to help clarify values, cognitive behavioral strategies for practical problem solving, and attachment-focused work to address relationship patterns. She also uses dialectical skills and mindfulness practices when they match a person's goals.

Over seven years of practice in Michigan shaped her hands-on style. She prefers straightforward conversations and step-by-step plans over jargon. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Clients can expect a calm, direct way of working that centers their priorities. Charlotte aims to help people find small, realistic changes that lead to more ease and greater confidence in everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathic, nonjudgmental support. It helps when someone needs a place to be heard and to figure out next steps for relationships, parenting, or life stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with relationship tension, trust issues, and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. This may mean combining client-centered listening with ACT exercises or practical CBT-style tools when that fits.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep regular check-ins during periods of change. Depending on the formats offered, clients may find shorter check-ins, sessions that better fit a lunch break, or alternatives to in-person visits helpful for staying consistent with care.
