About Lella
Lella Still is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those facing relationship challenges and workplace strain.
She uses a direct, collaborative style that centers the person's needs. Sessions are meant to help people build practical coping skills and clearer next steps. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that cause distress. She draws on methods that encourage new thinking and emotional regulation. Conversations often include exercises to try between meetings so skills grow over time.
Lella has worked with people dealing with caregiver stress, isolation and self-esteem struggles. She also supports clients with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. LGBT issues and finding life purpose are part of her focus areas as well.
Her background emphasizes approachable guidance and skill-building. She blends client-centered conversation with cognitive and behavioral tools. That mix helps clients reduce anxious moments, manage mood swings, and build confidence in day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and follows their pace, which helps people feel heard and decide on goals that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and actions and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to reduce worry and improve daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging can serve shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options increase flexibility and help people keep consistent care around work, family, and daily routines.
