About Kelsey
Kelsey Haymond is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping adults navigate hard seasons. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to rebuild confidence. Kelsey keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so people leave with clear next steps.
Her style is warm and client-centered. She aims to build a genuine connection where people feel heard without judgment. Early sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on making small, doable goals that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Kelsey uses a mix of skills-based approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to manage intense feelings and increase present-moment calm.
Many clients come for anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting strain, grief, eating and body-image concerns, or trouble coping with life changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, anger, obsessive thinking, panic, and postpartum challenges. Sessions include talking, skill practice, and short homework between meetings.
Outside of work she spends time with her husband and new baby, and makes room for biking, yoga, and other outdoor activities. Kelsey works from Utah and conducts sessions in English.
How structured approaches work online
CBT helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety and low mood. Online CBT usually means working on practical exercises, tracking thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between sessions. DBT offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high. Using DBT skills online can be useful for managing panic, anger, and intense emotions in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting them based on what feels helpful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, skill coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
