Kelli Trueblood-Graves , LCSW

Kelli Trueblood-Graves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico with 10 years of professional experience. She specializes in supporting people facing addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and a wide range of stress, anxiety, relationship, family, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Kelli also works with difficulties related to eating, sleeping, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

As an LCSW, she has advanced training in assessment and psychotherapy and draws on evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Kelli approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that individuals are the experts of their own stories and already possess resources that can help them move through challenges. She aims to create a collaborative environment where clients’ goals and values guide the work.

Beginning therapy takes courage, and Kelli acknowledges that first step while offering practical tools and emotional support to help people build coping skills, repair relationships, and navigate transitions. Her style blends empathy with structured approaches so clients can make meaningful progress at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kelli integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure connections and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual in the room, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals so change grows from their strengths and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelli works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting interventions as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and receive support from home or another convenient location while working toward meaningful change.
