Dr. Charlotte Kennedy, TN Psychologist 671

Dr. Charlotte Kennedy helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief, and intense emotions like anger. She also supports clients dealing with depression, changes in life circumstances, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, and the everyday strain of parenting and caregiving. Dr. Kennedy brings 40 years of practical experience to each session and works to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters most to them.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and try simple strategies that fit their life. Sessions often include learning ways to change unhelpful thinking, practicing attention and relaxation skills, and building small habits that make a difference day to day.

Over four decades of work in Tennessee, she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, grief, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues like ADHD concerns, body image, commitment and attachment worries, and challenges tied to caregiving or serious illness.

Dr. Kennedy uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods are adapted to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. The aim is practical progress that matches a client's goals.

She practices as TN Psychologist 671 and offers services in English. To begin, people follow a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, helps name what matters most, and supports choices that fit each person's life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide what seems most helpful. That choice is revisited over time and adjusted to match changing goals, needs, and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are determined by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the setting where they live and notice what changes between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so clients leave each session with concrete steps to try.
