About Kelly
Kelly Haught is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience in Tennessee. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, mood changes, or life transitions. She listens without judgment and works alongside each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Kelly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She combines that with client-centered care to keep the focus on what matters most to the person in the room.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are used when they fit the person’s goals. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Kelly helps develop coping skills for sleep, eating, work stress, parenting strain, and impulsive behavior.
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, substance concerns, and identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria issues. Over her career she has worked with people managing co-occurring challenges, first responder stress, and caregiver burden. Her approach favors short-term strategies that can be applied right away along with deeper work when needed.
Kelly encourages steady progress and small experiments that build new habits. Clients can expect clear feedback, guided practice, and collaborative planning. She frames change as a process and helps people build skills to handle setbacks.
The focus is on usable tools that improve daily life and reduce the grip of strong emotions.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person set goals that feel relevant. This approach is useful for people who need acceptance and steady support while they sort out their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses short exercises between sessions and clear steps during sessions, which adapt well to video or messaging formats and help with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Those practices can be guided in a live call or reinforced through short messages and reminders between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness or shifting emphasis as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and get brief support between calls. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
