About Kelly
Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the ups and downs of life. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Kelly emphasizes practical steps and steady support so small changes add up to real progress.
Kelly uses straightforward talk and goal-focused work to tackle depression, grief, trauma, and problems with sleep, eating, or substance use.
How Kelly works
She also supports people navigating identity concerns, parenting stress, career shifts, and the fallout from relationship or family conflict. Her approach centers on the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
She pairs that with client-centered listening so people feel heard while they try new strategies. Mindfulness tools are used to reduce anxiety and increase calm in daily life. Kelly brings 24 years of experience as an LPC in Tennessee.
She frames change as a step-by-step process and works at a pace that fits each individual's needs. Expect clear suggestions, practice tasks between sessions, and regular review of what is working. Her style is encouraging without glossing over hard parts.
She aims to help people develop healthier coping, better communication, and stronger emotional balance. Kelly invites individuals who want practical support and steady guidance to explore therapy together.

How Kelly’s Approaches Work Online
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought patterns that lead to anxiety or low mood, and then try new behaviors to test different outcomes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, sleep, and emotional ups and downs.The right approach is often discovered together. Kelly will listen to current struggles, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Sessions are collaborative - she adjusts techniques based on what helps and checks in regularly about progress and comfort with the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrative coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflection between sessions, or ongoing support when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
