How Kelli works
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is struggling with change, especially around substance use or other habits. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. Kelli keeps language simple and concrete.
She helps people set realistic changes and practice new ways of handling stress, anger, sleep, or eating concerns. Kelli brings ten years of clinical experience in New Mexico. Her background includes working with people affected by grief, domestic violence, dissociation, and postpartum depression among other issues.
She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, and non-monogamous relationships. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and guides them toward safer ways of connecting with others. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or address eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.
Online therapy makes those approaches more flexible. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper relational work. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, quick coping reminders, or check-ins between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
