Lella Still

Lella Still is a Kentucky-based licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are facing depression, anxiety, and life changes. She also supports those managing workplace stress, relationship strain, and questions about life purpose.

She pays close attention to social isolation and loneliness, and to challenges that come with caregiving. Lella uses clear, practical steps so people can start feeling steadier. Sessions aim to build coping skills and improve everyday functioning.

Her style is collaborative and caring. She listens first, then helps clients try approaches that fit their goals. Expect conversations about what matters most, and small experiments to test new ways of coping.

Lella draws on several evidence-informed methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical behavior ideas. Those approaches are used to address mood symptoms, anxiety, and patterns that keep problems going.

She offers an inclusive, nonjudgmental space where people can explore identity, self-esteem, and purpose. The work often combines short-term problem solving with longer-term skill building. The focus is on practical change that fits daily life.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lella will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try first. This means trying practical tools together and adjusting the plan based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and goals.
