About Kelsey
Kelsey Haymond is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping people navigate life’s hard moments. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood struggles, and relationship concerns. Kelsey aims to build a genuine, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel safe to talk and make changes.
Her work tends to be goal-oriented and collaborative. Early on she and the client set clear goals and pick small, doable steps to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions usually mix talking, skill practice, and suggestions for short exercises to try between visits. Kelsey draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, learn coping skills for strong emotions, and focus on what’s working now to build momentum.
These methods are used to address concerns such as panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts, eating and body image issues, and postpartum depression. She also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, and life transitions. Communication challenges and family problems are addressed by working on practical ways to talk and set boundaries.
Kelsey includes kindness and a sense of humor when appropriate to keep therapy relatable. Outside of work she spends time with her husband and new baby, and enjoys biking, yoga, and outdoor recreation. Clients who want clear goals, skill-based work, and a warm clinician may find her approach a good fit.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood concerns by breaking problems into clear steps and practicing new responses.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when strong emotions, intense stress, or relationship conflict make daily life harder, and it includes practical skills to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then pick or blend methods that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist reassess and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style work, or ongoing reminders of skills between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
