About Kelsey
Kelsey Haymond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with nine years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck by working on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, parenting strains, grief, and related concerns. Kelsey focuses on what each person wants to work on and sets clear goals early in care.
Kelsey keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build useful skills. Sessions can include home practice and concrete steps to try between meetings.
Her style is client-centered, which means building a genuine working relationship is a priority. People can expect a nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and frustrations, and a therapist who will listen and validate their experience. She aims to include a bit of levity when appropriate.
Kelsey has worked with a range of mood and behavior concerns, including eating and food-related issues, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, phobias, postpartum depression, self-harm, and social anxiety. She also addresses body image, communication problems, family-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Kelsey balances practical skill-building with attention to a person’s goals. Early sessions focus on clarifying priorities and picking approaches that fit those goals. Over time she tracks progress and adjusts strategies as needed.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger patterns, and problem-solving at work or home. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and refining communication under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelsey will review goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That process is collaborative and focuses on concrete steps and skills the client can use between sessions.
