About Kelly
Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 24 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and difficult life transitions.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. That often includes practical tools for managing worry, changing routines, and coping with strong emotions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness skills are introduced to help slow down and reduce overwhelm in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, achievable steps. Motivational interviewing is used to explore what a person truly wants and to build momentum for change.
Solution-focused strategies help set clear goals and find realistic ways to reach them. Kelly has worked across many concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, relationship difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and caregiver stress. She also supports LGBT people navigating identity and related stressors.
Her style is warm and direct, offering practical exercises and steady encouragement. People who want a straightforward, goal-oriented process tend to do well with her. She helps clients build insight, replace unhelpful habits, and develop healthier coping skills for everyday challenges.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that fit their life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits for managing anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm during stressful times. These practices often pair well with cognitive tools for daily use.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration shapes session pace, homework, and which skills are emphasized.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals over time.
