Charlotte Kennedy, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Charlotte

Charlotte Kennedy is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients take small, useful steps toward feeling better. Charlotte keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now.

She identifies as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - practicing in Michigan.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how relationships and family history shape emotions and behavior. That means talking about attachment patterns, communication habits, and how past losses or caregiving roles affect day-to-day life. She also works with issues related to addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions often include skills practice, values-based goal setting, and troubleshooting real-world problems. Charlotte blends client-centered listening with practical tools from DBT and CBT. Those tools include emotion regulation techniques, thought work, and mindful acceptance strategies.

The approach is collaborative: she helps clients choose practices that fit their goals and routines. Therapy can address parenting concerns and broader family problems, including blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and fatherhood issues. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, and family of origin patterns.

Her work is built on seven years of clinical experience in Michigan. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behaviors and communication, which can be helpful when family or parenting dynamics are a core concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your situation and goals, then suggest options and try methods collaboratively. That way you can see what fits your life and make adjustments as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping continuity between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
