About Kelli
Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-informed care for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and life changes. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and centers each session on the person's experience. The first steps are listening, naming what feels hard, and choosing clear next steps together.
Kelli draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and attachment-based thinking to help people understand patterns that keep stress and worry going.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered conversations so the person's priorities guide each session. Her background includes helping people cope with addictions, trauma and abuse, and parenting stresses. Over about a decade in practice, Kelli has worked with a range of concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem struggles.
She pays attention to how family of origin and blended family situations shape current difficulties. Her experience also includes supporting people facing postpartum depression, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. In sessions she mixes concrete skills with open conversation.
That might mean practicing a different thought or behavior, trying a new communication strategy, or reflecting on attachment patterns. The goal is to build tools that fit day-to-day life and reduce anxiety in real moments. Kelli holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - in New Mexico.
She offers sessions in English and uses a collaborative style to tailor care to what each person needs.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people feel and relate today. In online sessions this often becomes a focus on patterns in current relationships and on ways to build safer, more predictable interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and stress. That approach lends itself well to short exercises and homework between sessions.Kelli emphasizes collaboration when choosing approaches. She will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest a mix of attachment-focused conversation, CBT techniques, or client-centered work. Deciding together helps make sure the methods fit your situation and feel useful rather than imposed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or health concerns. Video calls let you read facial cues and practice new communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for frequent, brief check-ins, sharing progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic tools a licensed professional would offer in person.
