About Kelsey

Kelsey Haymond is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping people navigate life transitions, mood challenges, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

She builds a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and validation, offering a welcoming environment where clients can explore feelings, identify goals, and practice skills that support lasting change. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, eating concerns, OCD, self-harm, and relationship difficulties, and she draws on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas.

Her style centers on collaboration and practicality: Kelsey partners with each person to set clear goals early in therapy and tailors techniques to fit individual needs. She emphasizes real-world practice between sessions, moments of self-exploration, and approaches that promote hope and empowerment.

Sessions may also include a lighter touch when appropriate, as she balances focused skill-building with warmth and an open attitude. Located in Utah, Kelsey holds an LCSW credential and offers services in English.

She frames therapy as a shared process aimed at improving coping, communication, and self-understanding while adapting methods to the concerns and priorities a client brings to the work.

CBT, Mindfulness, and Skills-Focused Online Therapy

Kelsey commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, panic, compulsive habits, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can ease stress, improve emotional regulation, and support recovery from eating and body image concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelsey approaches this collaboratively. She works with clients to clarify goals, evaluates how different techniques fit those goals, and adapts methods over time so the plan reflects each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Kelsey is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access care from home or elsewhere in Utah. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and a flexible path forward for people juggling work, family, or other commitments.
