Kelley Tubbs

Kelley Tubbs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who uses client-centered care to help people facing anger, stress, and anxiety. He draws on 17 years of experience in mental health settings and aims to make the first steps toward support easier for nervous or unsure people.

Kelley focuses on practical coping skills to manage strong emotions. He helps people identify triggers, build strategies to calm down, and practice new ways of responding when anger or stress rises. Sessions emphasize clear steps that can be used between meetings.

His background includes work in both private and government settings. That experience involved mental health assessment, individual and group therapy, and community outreach. He has worked with people who have Bipolar Disorder, post-traumatic stress, depression, and schizophrenia, and he brings that perspective to everyday problem solving.

Kelley uses several approaches to tailor work to each person. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, Mindfulness Therapy to increase present-moment awareness, Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical goals.

He aims to help people recognize their existing strengths and apply them to change. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person can handle. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used so people can find a session time that fits their life.

How Kelley’s approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths, with the therapist offering empathy and guidance rather than giving directives. This approach helps people feel heard and build plans that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches paying attention to the present moment without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and make stress easier to notice and manage.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kelley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing meetings during breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people use mindfulness or homework exercises in daily routines. If you want to explore online sessions, check the session format options when you schedule to pick what will work best for you.
