About Kelsey
Kelsey Haymond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Utah with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and eating or body-image concerns. Social anxiety and phobia are included among the issues she addresses.
Kelsey focuses on building a genuine working relationship so clients can talk openly without judgment. Early sessions clarify what the client wants to work on and set clear goals. Sessions include talking through thoughts and feelings, learning skills to manage distress, and trying small experiments between sessions.
Her approach draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, develop coping skills, and test new ways of acting in social situations or stressful moments.
Kelsey adapts techniques to each person’s needs and preferences. She uses concrete strategies like skill-building, problem solving, and brief behavioral experiments. Progress is tracked against the goals set together so each session has a practical focus.
Outside of work she spends time with her family and enjoys biking, yoga, and outdoor activities. That background informs an approach that values clear plans, steady skill practice, and occasional levity during hard work.
How Kelsey uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood problems by breaking big problems into small, workable steps. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills in short, learnable practices that can reduce reactivity and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelsey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She draws on CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises and adjusts the mix based on how a client responds and what they want to focus on.
