About Lella
Lella Still is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with over 15 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, and difficult life changes. Her work often focuses on stress, relationship concerns, and workplace strain.

Background and approach
Caregiver stress and compassion fatigue are a frequent focus. She supports people who carry ongoing care responsibilities and those feeling worn down by emotional labor. The goal is better coping and more manageable routines.
Lella uses approaches that center the person in the room and teach skills for change. She combines straightforward thinking tools with emotion-regulation strategies to reduce overwhelm. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
She also works with people navigating LGBT concerns, bipolar mood management, and life purpose questions. Coaching-style support for career and direction is available alongside therapy. The practice aims to help people feel more steady and in control of next steps.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and placing the person's goals at the center of each session. It helps people feel heard and build trust in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to relieve symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and what feels useful. Then she will suggest ways to combine listening and skills-based work so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
