About Kelley
Kelley Tubbs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 17 years of experience. He helps people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and bipolar concerns.
He uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, test different responses, and build coping strategies for day-to-day life. Sessions often focus on specific skills and steps that people can try between meetings.
Before moving into private practice, he worked in both government settings and community programs. That background included mental health assessment, group work, outreach, and trainings. He has experience with post-traumatic stress, first responder and veteran issues, and workplace stress as well as severe mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
Kelley draws on several approaches when making a plan. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to track and change thought and behavior patterns. He pairs that with client-centered methods that emphasize the client's goals and mindfulness techniques to manage intense feelings. Narrative and solution-focused tools are added when they fit a person's goals.
He invites straightforward conversations about what is hard and what the client wants to change. The focus is on manageable steps, clearer thinking, and practical coping strategies. People who want structured, skills-based work often find this approach helpful.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Kelley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that sustain stress or anxiety. CBT in a session looks like tracking thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked in the next meeting. Client-Centered Therapy means he focuses on the client's goals and preferences, allowing the client to guide which issues to prioritize. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice and tolerate strong feelings through simple attention and breathing practices.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. He will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, or a brief solution-focused move fits best given the problem, goals, and what the client prefers. That plan can change as progress is made.
