About Kelly
Kelly Haught is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and changes like divorce or career shifts. She also supports people facing identity concerns such as LGBT issues and gender dysphoria.
Kelly frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking, developing coping skills, and making changes that feel workable in day-to-day life.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness strategies are used to help people slow down strong emotions. She also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and stay motivated to change.
In practice she helps people build skills for stress management, sleep, eating concerns, and impulse control. She addresses problems linked to trauma, grief, substance use, and first responder stress. Communication problems, family of origin issues, and caregiver strain are also included among her focus areas.
Sessions emphasize realistic steps - small experiments, fresh ways to respond, and clearer communication. Kelly aims to increase insight and practical coping rather than promise quick fixes. If someone wants to reduce snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, or handle built-up resentment, her work centers on tools and steady progress.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kelly commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and anxiety. CBT focuses on practical exercises and behavior experiments to reduce reactivity and improve problem solving.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that lessen the intensity of strong emotions, and client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals and perspectives. These approaches can help with stress, sleep problems, eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process may include trying short experiments and checking what helps most.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can shorten commute time, allow a daytime check-in during a work break, or reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Ask about session length and platform when you schedule to plan what will work best for you.
