About Shelia
Shelia Storey is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. Her work also covers caregiver stress, drug and alcohol addiction, and financial strain.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Sheila treats clients as the expert on their own lives and focuses on building skills people can use between meetings. Sessions typically involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding to them.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her offer structured tools alongside conversational problem solving. She often helps people set small goals and practice new habits week to week.
In sessions she listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Then she and the client pick one or two practical changes to try. Work might include thought records, behavioral experiments, coping skills training, or short-term goal plans depending on the concern.
People who want clear steps and measurable progress often find this way of working useful. Shelia encourages regular review of what is and isn’t helping so plans can be adjusted. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT involves short experiments and homework tasks that build new habits and can suit problems like low self-esteem or addictive patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help you and her decide together which methods to try based on your goals and preferences. That collaborative planning includes reviewing progress and adjusting techniques over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy are that sessions can fit into weekday routines and reduce travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can still include the same CBT exercises, short goal-setting reviews, and skill practice used in face-to-face work, which helps therapy fit into everyday life.
