About Kelli
Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses direct, supportive conversation to help people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and find workable steps forward.
Kelli believes each person knows their story best and builds on those strengths. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and offers tools to change them.
Background and approach
That can mean learning new ways to manage anger, developing coping skills for anxiety, or addressing sleep and eating struggles. Her practice also includes concerns related to trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and identity questions within LGBT experiences. Kelli supports people navigating life transitions such as divorce, adoption and foster care challenges, or postpartum changes.
She also addresses complex topics like codependency, dissociation, and family of origin issues. Therapeutically she draws on approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on goals that matter to each person.
Kelli brings ten years of experience and a steady, practical approach to sessions. People can expect clear conversation, concrete coping skills, and a plan that fits their life. Kelli encourages small changes that add up over time, and she helps people track progress and adjust goals as needed.

Using practical approaches in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and offers ways to feel and act differently in important bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, combines acceptance with skills training and is useful for managing strong emotions and improving coping and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they test methods, adjust tools, and pick what fits the person's needs and preferences as work proceeds.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and work well for more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier on busy days or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life and keep momentum toward their goals.
