About Kelley
Kelley Tubbs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience. He focuses on practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and mood concerns. Kelley aims to make the first steps toward help feel straightforward and not overwhelming.
He uses a client-centered approach that starts with listening to what matters most to each person. From there he draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to build day-to-day coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete tools clients can try between meetings. Kelley has worked in both personal and government settings, which shaped his experience with varied needs. He has provided individual and group therapy, conducted community trainings, and supported people living with bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, depression, and schizophrenia.
He also addresses workplace stress, first responder concerns, and issues that come up for young adults. In therapy he helps people identify strengths, manage strong feelings, and develop clearer goals. He also offers support around relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, grief, and life transitions.
His approach blends practical problem solving with gentle reflection. Kelley works with people who are exploring purpose, facing commitment or fidelity issues, or coping with guilt and shame. He helps those navigating midlife shifts, career questions, and veteran or armed forces related concerns.

Approaches that guide online care and skill-building
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. It means sessions begin with listening and working at the client’s pace to uncover strengths and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical tools to change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kelley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on what the client finds useful.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people practice skills in real time and keep momentum between appointments.
