Kelly Haught, LPC

Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who brings 24 years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and a wide range of life transitions. She emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own life and offers collaborative, respectful support to help clients identify goals and take practical steps toward change. Employing cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-oriented practices, she works to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and strengthen self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Kelly has experience with diverse concerns including LGBT issues, parenting and family dynamics, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, substance-related problems, anger and impulsivity, and caregiver stress. Her approach blends supportive counseling with goal-focused interventions so clients can see measurable progress while feeling heard and respected. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional trained in assessment and treatment - she aims to create a therapeutic process that fits each person’s needs and pace. Clients seeking steady, experienced guidance through difficult emotions or life changes may find her approach mindful, practical, and grounded in long-term clinical experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kelly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering empathic listening and unconditional respect so clients can explore their values and make choices that feel authentic; this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can calm racing thoughts, support emotional regulation, and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so the plan stays aligned with their priorities.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - appointments can take place as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps people fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity during life changes. These options make it easier to receive consistent support while pursuing meaningful change with a licensed professional.
