About Lella
Lella Still is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship and career concerns, and caregiver stress. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, loneliness, and issues tied to self-esteem and life purpose.
She keeps sessions straightforward. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns that make daily life harder. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those fit a person's goals. She also draws on a client-centered stance to keep conversations focused on what matters to the individual.
In sessions she helps people build coping tools for panic, low mood, workplace strain, and the stress of life changes. She can coach through career decisions and support exploration of sexual orientation and LGBT concerns. Sessions often include skill practice, thought work, and planning concrete next steps.
Her work is most useful for someone who wants clear, applied techniques to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. She pays attention to caregiver burden and the isolation that can come with it, and she helps people find practical ways to reconnect and manage responsibilities.
People can expect a direct, collaborative approach rather than long theoretical explanations. The focus is on usable skills, manageable goals, and steady progress toward better day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps the client set priorities for sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or relationships. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with mood instability and intense reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and preferences. That process usually starts with short-term goals and adjustments as needed based on how well techniques fit.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let the therapist and client try different pacing and homework between meetings to keep progress practical and focused on day-to-day life.
