About Kelley

Kelley Tubbs is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience in mental health. He focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. Kelley uses conversational, practical work to help people feel more in control of daily challenges.

He draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from painful events. Kelley also uses Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to build coping skills and shift unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and Solution-Focused strategies are brought in when they fit a person’s goals. Much of his background includes work in both independent practice and government settings. That experience exposed him to a wide range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, grief, and issues that affect veterans and first responders.

He has provided individual and group services and done outreach and community trainings. Kelley aims to help people identify existing strengths and put them to use. Sessions tend to focus on small, practical steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

He explains ideas in plain language and partners with people to set realistic goals. People can expect a straightforward, respectful approach. Kelley helps clients develop tools they can use between sessions, whether that means practicing new thought patterns, experimenting with behavioral changes, or naming and rewriting unhelpful narratives.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based work fit online therapy

Therapy with Kelley often combines Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining and reshaping the stories they tell about their lives. This can be useful for trauma, grief, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

He also uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and pace. Kelley works with clients to choose which approaches to try and adjusts plans based on what helps most. Figuring out the right mix is a team effort that depends on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent progress.
