About Kennedy
She holds credentials as LCSW and LICSW and has three years of professional experience. In sessions she aims to break big problems into manageable tasks. That can look like setting small goals, practicing skills between meetings, and checking what worked for the client the week before.
Kennedy uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She matches techniques to a person’s needs so therapy is concrete and goal-oriented rather than abstract. Many clients notice relief from stress and clearer ways to handle daily demands.
Her approach is collaborative. Kennedy listens first, then helps people choose simple tools they can try right away. She pays attention to how symptoms affect school, work, relationships, and routines when she plans next steps.
People who want straightforward, skills-based support may find this approach helpful. Those interested in starting can expect focused sessions that aim to build coping strategies and small, achievable changes over time.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Many of Kennedy's methods are practical and fit well into online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing emotions, handling distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to change.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Kennedy listens to a person’s goals and daily realities, then suggests which techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review how a method is working and adjust plans together so sessions stay focused and useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow focused check-ins between other obligations. It can also support steady practice of skills in the settings where challenges happen most. Licensed professionals help tailor the pace and tools to match each person’s needs and goals.
