Kelsey Haymond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah with nine years of experience. She aims to build a warm, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel comfortable sharing what matters most to them. Kelsey focuses on practical goals and works with each person to decide what to address first.
Her style centers on collaboration and clear steps. Sessions include listening, normalizing difficult feelings, and trying tools together that can be practiced between meetings. She emphasizes hope, self-exploration, and small actions that lead to change, and she likes to bring moments of lightness into the work.
Kelsey has supported adults facing depression, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, relationship struggles, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. She also helps people coping with grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, body image, and challenges tied to life transitions. Her background includes work with mood disorders, panic and phobias, postpartum depression, and social anxiety.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She tailors techniques to each person and uses tools that fit practical needs and daily life. Therapy goals are set early and guide the work.
Outside of her clinical work, Kelsey spends time with her husband and new baby, and enjoys biking, yoga, and outdoor activities. She speaks English and practices in Utah as an LCSW.
Approaches that translate to online work
Kelsey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, and she also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so techniques stay useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
