About Lella

Lella Still is a Kentucky licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through periods of change and emotional strain.

Background and approach

She focuses on challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, workplace stress, and caregiver burnout, and she also supports clients facing relationship difficulties, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and issues related to sexual orientation. Her style blends practical skill-building with compassionate listening, using evidence-informed methods to help clients develop tools for daily coping and sustained growth.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and self-discovery so clients can identify values, clarify life purpose, and practice healthier patterns in relationships and work. Lella brings particular attention to isolation and loneliness, career transitions, and compassion fatigue, offering a steady, nonjudgmental presence while helping clients build clearer plans and problem-solving strategies.

She offers services in English from her Kentucky practice and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and dialectical approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s goals.

Approaches for Online Growth and Coping



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns; it is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and supporting each person’s own capacity for growth; this approach helps with building self-understanding, self-love, and motivation for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which combination of techniques feels most helpful, adjusting plans over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit care into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support across different settings, helping clients maintain momentum between sessions and access help from wherever they are located.
