About Kelli
Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 5 years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting difficulties. Kelli speaks English and frames her work around the strengths clients bring to their lives.
She approaches therapy believing clients know their own stories. Sessions focus on identifying existing strengths and practical steps to reduce distress. Kelli uses straightforward talk to help people cope with anxiety, grief, anger, and problems with sleep and eating.
Her toolbox includes attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior methods. Motivational interviewing also appears in conversations about change and substance use. The result is a mix of problem-focused tools and attention to how relationships affect day-to-day life.
Kelli addresses a wide range of life stresses and relationship concerns. These include intimacy-related issues, blended family challenges, body image and self-esteem problems, postpartum mood concerns, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma. She also works with people coping with dissociation, personality disorder patterns, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Practical matters such as parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, and problem drinking or drug use are commonly discussed. Kelli aims to help people make concrete changes in their routines and relationships. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How Kelli uses therapy methods in online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using attachment ideas often focus on patterns in close relationships and on building more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, mood, sleep, eating patterns, and behaviors someone wants to change by practicing different ways of thinking and doing.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also allow continued contact when life changes make in-person visits harder. Ask about practical scheduling details and any technical needs when you complete the matching questionnaire and arrange your first session.
