About Lella
Lella Still is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice in Kentucky. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and tough life changes. Her work often focuses on easing caregiver stress and combating isolation.
She aims for a calm, accepting atmosphere where people can speak honestly and feel heard. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and personal strengths rather than jargon. She listens first, then helps set small, doable goals that fit daily life.
Lella uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and understand what matters most to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills to manage strong emotions.
Her work addresses self-esteem, career stress, social anxiety, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and those wanting clearer life purpose or improved self-love.
The approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients practice coping strategies and build routines that ease daily strain. Progress is framed as steady steps rather than quick fixes.
How core approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and needs. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and adapts sessions to what matters most to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to figure out their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. This is a shared process that can shift as needs change.
Confirming available session options before booking is recommended, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Ask about format details when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
