About Kelsey
Kelsey Haymond is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice experience. She focuses on building a warm, judgment-free relationship so people can talk about what matters most. Kelsey aims to help people get unstuck, find clearer direction, and return to everyday life feeling more capable.
Her sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Early on she and the client set practical goals and pick approaches that fit the person's needs.
Background and approach
She offers a mix of conversation, skills practice, and take-home exercises. She also tries to keep moments of lightness and hope in the work. Kelsey draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness to address worries, mood changes, and stressful life shifts.
She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, body image and eating struggles, obsessive thoughts, panic, and grief. Parenting concerns and communication problems are also part of her focus areas. People who connect well with her tend to want clear strategies and hands-on practice.
Kelsey helps with pacing between short-term problem solving and deeper self-understanding. She emphasizes skills that can be used outside of sessions to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Outside of work she spends time with her husband and new baby, and enjoys biking, yoga, and outdoor activities.
Kelsey practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often includes concrete homework and step-by-step practice to change patterns that cause distress.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools are useful for intense emotions, overwhelm, and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then choose or combine approaches together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates or get short supports without scheduling a full session, which can fit into busy days or caregiving routines.
These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and life demands with a licensed professional.
