Kelsey Haymond, LCSW

Kelsey Haymond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, grief, and compassion fatigue. Kelsey works with adults who are managing life changes and the everyday pressures that come with caregiving and household roles.

Her sessions are person-centered and goal-oriented. Early on she helps people set clear goals and then uses practical tools to work toward them. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies depending on what fits the person and the problem.

Kelsey has experience supporting people dealing with eating and food-related concerns, body image problems, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, postpartum depression, self-harm, and social anxiety. She also addresses communication problems and family-related stress without conducting family therapy sessions unless that is arranged separately.

Her approach includes talking through current difficulties, practicing skills during and between sessions, and checking progress against the goals the client sets. Sessions may include behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and short-term problem-solving work.

Outside of work she spends time with her husband and new baby, and enjoys biking, yoga, and outdoor activities. That practical life perspective often shows up in how she helps people fit strategies into daily routines.
