About Kelly
Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, low mood, stress, and challenges related to identity and life changes. She works with adults who are wrestling with self-criticism, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, sleep or eating issues, and ADHD.
Her style is straightforward and supportive, focused on practical steps clients can try between sessions. She starts by listening to what matters most to each person and clarifying simple, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize building awareness of thoughts and behaviors and finding small changes that make daily life easier. Kelly blends talking strategies with skills practice so people leave sessions with useful tools they can actually use. Kelly uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way.
She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test out new ways of coping, and set manageable action steps toward change. Her client-centered way means the pace and choices come from the person in therapy. Over two decades in practice have included work with people affected by trauma, substance and alcohol issues, caregiver strain, and struggles around gender and identity.
She brings that experience to sessions while keeping goals practical and achievable. Kelly practices in Tennessee and conducts work in English. Her aim is to help people gain clearer perspective, better coping strategies, and steadier daily routines.
She frames change as a process and partners with clients to find approaches that fit their lives.
Therapeutic methods you can use from anywhere
Kelly regularly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. Those methods tend to suit issues like stress, ADHD-related challenges, sleep disruption, and persistent negative thinking.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that calm the body and improve focus. Mindfulness can help when racing thoughts, emotional reactivity, or difficulty settling at night get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kelly will listen to your goals and preferences, then try practical strategies together. She adjusts techniques over time so the work fits your life and moves you toward clear, doable steps.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see gestures and expressions during skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps you focus. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or scheduling when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into daily routines.
