Kelsey Haymond, LCSW

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 strain, parenting challenges, grief, and eating or body-image concerns. Kelsey also addresses anger, obsessions and compulsions, panic, phobias, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She helps people set clear goals early and focuses therapy on those goals. Sessions include talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying small changes between meetings. Kelsey uses tools from evidence-based approaches to support day-to-day functioning.

Kelsey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thought patterns and build emotion regulation skills. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress responses and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable steps. The mix of methods depends on what each person needs.

She favors a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on understanding immediate concerns and creating concrete goals. Later work usually emphasizes skill building, practice, and reviewing progress so adjustments can be made.

Outside the office she spends time with her husband and new baby, and she keeps active with biking, yoga, and team sports. That practical, active approach shows up in how she structures sessions and homework tasks.
