About Charlotte
Dr. Charlotte Kennedy is a Tennessee psychologist (TN Psychologist 671) with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses parenting, sleep and eating issues, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She keeps sessions practical and focused. Clients talk through what happens before, during, and after angry episodes. She helps identify triggers, slow escalation, and build short-term coping steps that fit daily life. Work often combines straightforward problem solving with moments of reflection.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used for grounding and noticing patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports goal-setting when change feels difficult.
Dr. Kennedy has long experience across many life phases and situations. She assists people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, abandonment worries, and caregiver stress. She also addresses first responder issues and age-related challenges.
Sessions focus on practical skills alongside deeper exploration. That may mean brief behavioral experiments, communication rehearsal, or attention-training exercises. The aim is to leave people with tools to manage anger and related stress in everyday settings.
She practices in Tennessee and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the session options and scheduling details to match their circumstances.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's agenda. Online sessions can preserve that emphasis by letting the client lead discussions about anger triggers, relationship tension, or workplace frustration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short experiments and homework to change patterns. CBT works well online through discussion, written exercises, and agreed practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test techniques, adjust what is helpful, and set concrete goals. That means trying brief skills, noting what helps reduce escalation, and changing course if something is unhelpful.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For some people, video sessions permit role-play and visual cues, while phone calls can be a simpler, lower-bandwidth option. Discuss practical preferences and scheduling when arranging the first session so sessions fit everyday routines.
