About Kelli
Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, LGBT-related issues, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, and problems with eating, sleeping, anger, and self-esteem.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and treating them as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding of how past patterns show up now. Kelli uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
Her background includes several therapeutic approaches that shape how she works in session. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns and how they shape current closeness and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with doable exercises between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and coping when stress or strong feelings feel overwhelming.
Kelli also draws on client-centered practice and motivational interviewing to support people making changes at their own pace. These methods are practical and goal-focused while keeping the person’s priorities central. She pays attention to adoption and foster care experiences, blended family dynamics, body image and codependency when these are part of a person’s story.
People who want to look at patterns coming from family of origin issues or past relationships will find a focus on how early roles and expectations still shape daily life. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how those patterns influence current trust and closeness. In online sessions this approach is used to talk through how family roles and expectations shaped present behavior and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT often includes homework and brief exercises to practice between meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as people try things and notice what helps most.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins short when needed. Others appreciate being able to use video or audio to focus on conversation without commuting. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling so sessions can be planned around what works best.
