About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Kennedy brings 40 years of psychological practice to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and ADHD. She works with individuals coping with grief, trauma, anger, and big life changes.
Her focus includes sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She listens in a straightforward, respectful way and helps clients name what matters most. Sessions aim to build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Clients set goals together and try small experiments between meetings.
Background and approach
Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Mindfulness practices are added when people want calmer attention and less reactivity.
Dr. Kennedy also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make a change but feel stuck. That approach is about finding personal reasons to move forward rather than pushing a plan on someone.
She has worked in Tennessee for decades and draws on that long experience to tailor help to each person’s situation. Conversations are plain and practical - focused on what will make daily life a bit easier. People who want steady guidance and workable strategies often find this approach useful.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the client, helping them explore feelings and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting day-to-day behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It works well for people who want clear steps and homework to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide what to try first. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint helps keep momentum. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
