Kaylee Haug, LPC

Kaylee Haug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that authorizes her to provide professional mental health counseling. Based in Idaho, she works from the conviction that people have an inherent capacity to heal, even after experiences of trauma, loss, anxiety, or depression. Kaylee emphasizes a supportive, relational approach in which the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a foundation for reconnection with personal strengths and resources.

She cultivates a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where individuals are heard, respected, and accepted as they are. Rather than positioning herself as someone who "fixes" others, Kaylee offers guidance, practical tools, and collaborative support to help clients build resilience and trust their own ability to change.

Kaylee has clinical experience with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. Her background includes work as a school counselor, providing services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and offering therapy to refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who have experienced war, displacement, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and major life adjustments.

Her practice is trauma-informed and person-centered, with attention to the connection between mind and body. Kaylee often includes psychoeducation about the mind-body link and uses somatic strategies, grounding exercises, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and concrete coping skills to help clients understand emotions and build lasting tools for recovery. She integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy, tailoring care to each person’s goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Kaylee is currently completing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach for processing traumatic memories. If EMDR seems appropriate for a client's goals and comfort level, Kaylee will explore whether it may be a helpful part of the healing process. Whether addressing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, she aims to help clients strengthen coping skills, deepen self-understanding, and create a more balanced, meaningful life.
