Charlotte Kennedy, LMSW

Charlotte Kennedy is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. Her stated focuses include relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction, grief, and self-esteem challenges.

She uses several evidence-based approaches and adapts them to what people need in the moment. Sessions commonly involve noticing patterns in thinking and behavior, learning practical coping skills, and building clearer ways to communicate. Charlotte also addresses attachment-related issues and concerns that arise when families merge or change.

People meet to talk through concrete problems such as workplace stress, social anxiety, and parenting strain. She helps people develop strategies for managing emotions, setting boundaries, and improving everyday routines. When addiction or trauma is involved, sessions may include skills to reduce reactivity and manage cravings or triggers.

Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix guides both short-term skills work and longer-term processing. Charlotte emphasizes clear steps and homework between sessions when helpful.

Clients come away with practical tools for daily life, clearer ways to express needs, and plans to handle recurring problems. People in blended households or those dealing with family of origin issues are noted among her areas of focus, and she incorporates communication and commitment topics often discussed in those situations.
