About Kelli

Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, self esteem struggles, and relationship concerns. She frames therapy around each person's strengths and their story. Kelli aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is nervous or uncertain about starting therapy.

Kelli uses clear, down-to-earth conversations to help people manage addiction, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also addresses intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and anger. Her work includes help for those navigating blended-family dynamics, adoption and foster care, and non-traditional relationship styles.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Client-Centered care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools. That means she pays attention to patterns in close relationships, listens without judgment, and looks for practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person's goals.

Kelli has a total of 10 years of experience in the field and holds the LCSW credential, licensed in New Mexico. She speaks English and works with people handling a wide range of life changes and emotional struggles.

People who choose her can expect straightforward communication, an emphasis on personal strengths, and collaborative goal-setting. To begin, clients use the site matching process and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Kelli's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean talking through relationship history and spotting recurring dynamics that affect self esteem and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and honoring a person's experience. Online meetings let the therapist reflect understanding and help clients feel heard while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions; via remote conversations a therapist can introduce simple exercises to reframe thoughts and test new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelli will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts tools and pacing based on what the client wants to focus on and how they respond in sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, avoiding travel time, and using brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm available session types before booking. Many people find that remote appointments make it simpler to keep consistent momentum while working on self esteem, stress, and relationship patterns.
