Lella Still

Lella Still is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with 15 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career uncertainty, and life changes. Her profile also notes support for mood disorders, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity and caregiver stress.

She focuses on practical steps in sessions. That includes looking at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, learning skills to manage overwhelming feelings, and talking through relationship and work decisions. Sessions often include learning specific coping tools and practicing them between meetings.

Lella describes a collaborative style. She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior tools to manage intense emotions and improve coping skills.

Her background includes many years helping people who feel isolated or burned out. She also works with those questioning life direction or purpose, and with caregivers coping with chronic stress. In practical terms she aims to help clients find clearer ways to manage day-to-day demands and make choices that fit their values.

People who want a direct, skills-focused approach may find this style useful. To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach begin with open conversation about goals and values so the therapist can tailor support to what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often includes short exercises and worksheets to try between sessions, which helps with issues like anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions DBT tools can be practiced in real time and then applied during daily life to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques over time as those needs change.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling participation from quieter surroundings or during a work break.
