About Shella
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 7 years of experience. Shella Chichester helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes using client-centered methods and practical techniques.
Shella uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. She listens first and then helps people set small, manageable goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to help clients notice patterns, test new ways of thinking, and try concrete steps between meetings.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk through current problems, identify one or two priorities, and leave with simple strategies to try. Shella describes her work as collaborative - she and the person she sees pick methods that make sense for that person's situation.
Her background includes seven years of counseling practice in Georgia as an LPC. That experience has included helping people cope with loss and adjust to life transitions. She also brings practical problem-solving methods when someone needs focused help with mood or stress.
Outside of work she mentions family life and travel. That personal detail guides her preference for efficient sessions that fit into busy schedules. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking so they know how to proceed.

Approaches used and what online work looks like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist offers reflection and support while the person sets the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and small steps forward to build momentum and solve specific problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps the person progress.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins or longer sessions around family and work. It can also make it simpler to use written exercises or tools between meetings. Ask about the specific session options when you sign up so you understand how your meetings will be arranged.
