Kelly Haught, LPC

Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 24 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or major life shifts. Her approach is straightforward and grounded in everyday language so parents and busy adults can follow along.

Kelly centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats each client as the expert on their own life and offers guidance to make practical changes. She focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building better coping habits for daily life.

In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening. That means clients get both tools to reframe thoughts and a supportive space to talk things through. She also brings mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they fit the person’s goals.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship stress, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleep issues, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and challenges tied to gender and sexual identity. She also addresses caregiver stress, substance concerns, and communication or control issues within relationships.

Kelly aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track progress over time. She meets clients where they are and adjusts methods to match their needs. Starting therapy is framed as a practical step toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the client says so they can make their own choices. It helps when someone needs a calm, respectful space to process feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and offers simple exercises to test and change those thoughts. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and building everyday coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and change direction if something does not fit. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant to their life and needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online or in-person options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets or guided exercises during a session. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to help clients practice skills between visits and track progress over time.
