Kelley Tubbs, LCSW

Kelley Tubbs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with 17 years of professional experience. He provides mental health assessment and diagnostic services and offers both individual and group therapy, alongside community engagement, trainings, and outreach. His work spans private practice and government settings, giving him experience treating Bipolar Disorder, Post-traumatic stress, Depression, Schizophrenia, and providing family therapy.

He focuses on helping people identify and manage stress and anxiety, develop coping strategies for living with trauma, and improve anger management skills. Kelley emphasizes practical tools and collaborative goal-setting to support clients as they navigate life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, grief, and career or workplace issues. He also addresses intimacy- and commitment-related difficulties, issues common to veterans and first responders, and challenges faced by young adults.

Kelley believes clients already possess strengths, skills, and knowledge that can be mobilized to overcome obstacles. His role is to help uncover those resources and guide clients toward coping and lasting change. He recognizes that reaching out for help can feel intimidating, and he aims to make the therapeutic process purposeful and rewarding for each person he works with.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Kelley often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client’s own goals and experience and creates a space where the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering empathy and support. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, goal-focused method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Mindfulness Therapy is another tool he employs to help clients build awareness of thoughts and sensations, reduce reactivity, and develop emotional regulation skills; it can be useful for managing anxiety, trauma reactions, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Kelley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family commitments, or other life demands while working with licensed professionals and therapists to make progress toward meaningful goals.
