About Kelly
Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and changes related to parenting. She draws on two decades of experience to listen, question, and guide without judgment. Sessions aim to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try manageable changes that fit daily life.
Kelly uses straightforward talk and practical tools. She helps clients spot negative thinking and replace it with useful steps.
Background and approach
Together they build coping skills for sleep, eating, anger, and feelings of grief or emptiness. Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and diversity-related struggles such as gender dysphoria and LGBT issues. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, co-occurring health problems, and family-of-origin themes.
This range lets her tailor the conversation to the problem someone brings. In sessions she applies cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, achievable steps and keep momentum.
The focus stays practical - what can be tried between sessions to ease stress and build confidence. Kelly describes therapy as a collaboration. Clients can expect direct feedback, empathy, and step-by-step plans.
Her goal is to help people gain insight, develop healthier habits, and move toward goals that matter to them.

How Kelly Uses Practical Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers support without judgment and helps people identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then try methods that fit those priorities. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts strategies based on what helps in real life.
Online therapy makes it possible to meet in different ways depending on what a person needs that day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in, do brief follow-ups, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options aim to make consistent care easier to fit into a busy life.
