About Kelsey
Kelsey Haymond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, body image and anger. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, mood disorders, panic, phobias, postpartum depression, self-harm, and related concerns.
Kelsey uses an approach that centers the client. Early sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and on setting concrete goals. She blends practical tools with conversation so people can try strategies between sessions. She aims for a direct, down-to-earth style that includes skill practice and focused check-ins.
Her practice draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness methods, and solution-focused techniques. That combination is used to help with regulating strong emotions, reducing unhelpful thought patterns, and improving everyday coping. She applies techniques based on individual needs rather than a single method for everyone.
People who reach out can expect goal-oriented work with room for personal reflection. Sessions often include skill-building exercises, thought records, mindful breathing, and short behavioral experiments. Homework and real-world practice are common to solidify new skills.
Outside of work she is a parent who enjoys biking, yoga, and being active. She aims to keep sessions practical and realistic so strategies fit into a busy life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT helps people identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. Typical work includes tracking thoughts, testing beliefs with small experiments, and practicing alternative responses to common triggers.DBT focuses on concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Sessions often include emotion regulation techniques, distress tolerance strategies, and interpersonal effectiveness practice to reduce reactive responses.
Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and breathing practices to increase awareness of bodily signals and impulses. These practices support noticing anger early and choosing a different response before it escalates.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the contexts where problems arise.
