About Kelli

Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical skills with a respectful, person-focused style. She centers her work on building on strengths and helping people move through hard moments. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at parents and individuals facing stress, addiction, grief, or relationship concerns.

Kelli uses methods that focus on connection and everyday coping skills. She leans on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative space where their experience guides the work. Kelli treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them test practical strategies between sessions.

She values small, concrete changes that add up over time. With ten years of social work experience and a New Mexico LCSW credential, Kelli has worked across concerns such as substance use, trauma, postpartum depression, and body image. She also addresses more specific issues like adoption and foster care, blended family stress, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Her sessions are geared toward people who want clear tools and honest conversation. She offers a mix of skills training and reflective work so clients can manage day-to-day parenting demands, cope with change, and recover from difficult events.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how personal relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice patterns in current relationships and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going and practicing small behavior changes to feel better and handle stress. These methods are practical and suit concerns like anxiety, sleep issues, body image, and many parenting stresses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, history, and what feels doable, and then recommend a path that combines listening with hands-on skill-building. Clients can expect the plan to be reviewed and adjusted over time so it fits changing needs and family routines.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing helps a person think through a problem. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, and other daily commitments.
