About Kelly
Kelly Haught is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 24 years of experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, anger, grief, sleep or eating concerns, and life changes. Her work also includes issues related to LGBT identity, ADHD, parenting strain, and trauma and abuse.
She focuses on straightforward, practical work in sessions. Kelly treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them identify what needs to change. Conversations aim to increase awareness of thinking patterns and reactions, and to build healthier coping strategies for daily stressors.
Kelly commonly uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She pairs that with client-centered listening and solution-focused steps so people leave sessions with small, manageable actions. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice feelings and calm strong reactions.
She also draws on motivational interviewing when people are unsure about change, helping them clarify what matters and find workable next steps. Sessions cover practical skills for handling anger, communication problems, impulse control, and co-occurring issues such as substance concerns.
People who work with Kelly can expect short-term goals and skills practice alongside deeper reflection when needed. She supports caregivers, first responders, and those facing family of origin or relationship stress. Kelly offers help aimed at day-to-day improvements rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting pace and focus as needed.
