About Kelly
Kelly Haught is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with 24 years of experience helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. She works with people facing identity and diversity-related questions, coping difficulties, and problems with self-esteem. Sessions focus on practical steps they can use between appointments.
Kelly centers sessions on what the person already knows about themselves. She uses straightforward conversation to clarify patterns that came from the family someone grew up in and how those patterns show up now. Conversations often include noticing automatic thoughts and trying out small behavioral changes. Kelly encourages skills for better sleep, eating, and managing anger and grief.
Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered principles. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new ways of responding, and reflect on their values. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when someone needs help setting and reaching practical goals.
Kelly often supports people dealing with ADHD, caregiver stress, substance concerns, and the aftermath of separation or domestic conflict. She also works with issues tied to gender identity and LGBTQ concerns in adults. Her focus is on clear, usable strategies rather than technical language.
Most sessions involve talking through current problems, practicing new responses, and measuring what works. People who prefer direct, skills-based counseling alongside a reflective conversation tend to find this approach useful. To start, a short intake helps identify the first steps toward change.
How Kelly's approaches translate to online work
Kelly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods that adapt well to conversation-focused sessions. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be done through discussion, thought records, and short between-session exercises. Client-centered work centers on listening and reflecting to help someone clarify values and needs, and it often looks like extended talk and gentle questioning.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily signals and reduce reactive behavior. Mindfulness tools tend to be brief exercises and breathing practices that people can try in-session and repeat later on their own. Determining which mix of methods fits best is part of the collaborative work. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and adjust techniques based on what helps most.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require camera use, which can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer not to be on video.
