About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Kennedy is a Tennessee psychologist with 40 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and big life changes. She offers calm, steady support for people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues around intimacy or self-esteem.
She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and practical. She listens closely, helps people name what is happening, and works together to set clear goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on simple skills you can use right away, and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Dr. Kennedy uses methods that match the person in front of her.
She draws on client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in each person’s experience. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the goals.
Over her career she has supported people through trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness concerns, first responder issues, and the strains of blended family life. That breadth gives her many practical ideas to try in session. People meet with her by video, phone, chat, or text messages.
She speaks English and practices in Tennessee as TN Psychologist 671. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Approaches that fit your life, offered online
Dr. Kennedy commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to meet practical problems. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person’s own experience and priorities, creating space to talk things through and set goals that feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress, anger, or anxiety and teaches concrete steps to change them.She also frequently draws on mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and boost commitment to change. Choosing the right mix is a conversation. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method upfront.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues matter and a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into busy days. These options aim to make consistent work possible around life and schedules.
