Kelli Trueblood-Graves, LCSW

Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a licensed clinical social worker who uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people make practical changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work and centers sessions on clients' goals and strengths.

She helps people address a wide range of concerns, including addictions, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with eating or sleeping. Kelli also supports those navigating parenting challenges, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce.

Kelli takes a respectful, client-centered stance in sessions. She views each person as the expert on their own life and works together with them to set realistic, manageable goals. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, identifying patterns that get in the way, and trying new responses between meetings.

Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful, along with motivational interviewing to support change. These methods are used to help people build coping skills, manage intense emotions, and improve relationships.

Kelli holds a LCSW credential and practices in New Mexico. She has a decade of professional experience working in behavioral health settings. She offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to fit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Many of Kelli's tools translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or eating. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more secure connections and clearer expectations in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kelli will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when writing feels like a better way to reflect. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life while using evidence-informed approaches.
