Kelly Haught, LPC

Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by addressing negative self-talk, stress, anxiety, and changes that have become hard to manage. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at helping people see practical steps forward.

She centers work on what each person already knows about themselves. Kelly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She mixes that with client-centered listening and supportive conversation so people feel heard while making changes.

Sessions often focus on building healthier coping habits for sleep, eating, mood, and stress. She also helps with relationship strain, grieving losses, parenting stress, and issues related to gender and sexuality. ADHD, substance concerns, and trauma-related challenges are also among the areas she addresses.

Kelly emphasizes small, manageable changes that add up over time. She helps clients track thoughts and behaviors, try different ways of responding, and set clear goals. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and create routines that fit ordinary life.

People who choose Kelly can expect a combination of practical tools and steady encouragement. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and supports them while they test new approaches and work toward clearer, more sustainable habits.

Approaches and how online work can fit everyday life

Kelly commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when meeting with people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment, helping them name what matters most. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their experience in the moment and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. The therapist will work together with clients to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and try strategies in real time between responsibilities. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as those options are set by the practice. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping momentum, doing brief check-ins, and practicing new habits between meetings.
