About Kelli
Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her work on building strong, trusting relationships. She uses a practical, collaborative style that helps people name what is hard and develop steps they can try between sessions. Her approach is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on small, workable changes rather than complex explanations.
Kelli brings ten years of experience to her practice in New Mexico. She has supported people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship strain, anxiety, grief, and sleep concerns. She also works with issues related to body image, eating and food-related struggles, and intimacy-related topics.
Her practical methods draw on attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps clients understand patterns, try concrete coping skills, and make choices that match their goals. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.
Kelli encourages people to notice their strengths while they learn new ways to handle stress and strong emotions. She often helps clients create step-by-step plans for sleep, emotion regulation, and everyday routines. Progress is measured in small gains that add up over time.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Kelli guides the conversation toward one or two manageable targets. She respects each person’s pace and collaborates on realistic next steps to try between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; it helps people notice triggers and build more effective ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with acceptance and following the client’s lead so goals come from the person’s own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try behavioral experiments that change mood or sleep over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelli will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on symptoms, daily routines, and goals. That process is flexible and may involve mixing skill-building with reflective listening to match what feels most helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Once you know the available options, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It can also let people try strategies that directly relate to their everyday environment, such as experimenting with bedtime routines or practicing stress management during a work break.
