Charlotte Kennedy, LMSW

Charlotte Kennedy is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) in Michigan who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or big life changes. Clients often seek her when stress or relationship problems feel hard to manage. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That includes methods that help people notice and accept difficult feelings, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build better emotional skills. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what the person can handle right now. Charlotte pays attention to how past experiences shape present struggles. Attachment issues, abandonment, and family of origin concerns are common topics she addresses. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges. Practical skills are a focus in her work. That may include emotion regulation, communication practice, and problem-solving for work or relationship stress. She encourages small, manageable steps that add up to clearer thinking and steadier behavior. Her background includes seven years in clinical practice. Charlotte brings that experience to sessions while keeping the conversation simple and direct. People who prefer an empathic, goal-oriented approach often find her style easy to follow.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop new habits, useful for stress, worry, and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or repeating family patterns to build more steady ways of connecting. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay relevant and helpful. Confirm the exact online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives therapists and clients ways to practice skills between meetings and to carry changes into everyday routines.
