Kelly Haught, LPC - Therapist in Tennessee

About Kelly

Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low mood. She speaks plainly and listens carefully. Sessions aim to reduce negative self-talk and replace unhealthy coping habits with practical tools.

Kelly emphasizes small, doable steps toward change rather than big, overwhelming plans. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns. She pairs that with client-centered listening so clients steer the pace and goals.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice tension and calm their reactions in daily life. Kelly has practiced in Tennessee for many years and brings 24 years of clinical experience to each meeting. She offers motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to build immediate, practical plans.

These methods are used together to match what a person needs in the moment. In sessions she helps people identify triggers, try small experiments, and track what works. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to emotions and practical steps.

Kelly aims to make therapy useful for everyday problems like sleep, eating, and coping with life changes. People who want a steady, experienced clinician who balances evidence-based tools with respectful listening may find her approach helpful. Her background includes work across mood concerns, trauma, identity-related stress, and caregiving strain, always centering the person’s own priorities and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Kelly often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments to change thinking and behavior, which can be applied to anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means the person sets the pace and goals while the therapist offers steady, nonjudgmental support. This approach is useful when someone needs space to process identity stress, grief, or caregiver strain. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust as needed based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments. Practical tools, brief exercises, and goal-setting can all be done remotely to support steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
