She practices in Kentucky and focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating big life changes.

Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps clients try small, practical steps to feel better. She emphasizes building coping skills, improving self-esteem, and finding clearer direction in work and life.
Lella uses approaches rooted in client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. She explains tools plainly and practices them together with clients during sessions. People who reach out can expect an inclusive, nonjudgmental space.
She welcomes diverse identities and centers each person's values when setting goals. The focus is on realistic steps that fit daily life and lead to steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and values. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what change looks like for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, healthier behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT-style skills can help with mood swings, impulsive reactions, and overwhelming stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps match methods to the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls let people practice skills in real time while on the move. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging give quick check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, while keeping focus on steady progress.
