About Shelia
Shelia Storey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. Shelia speaks in straightforward terms and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Shelia begins by listening to what matters most to the client. She focuses on practical steps that build on a person’s existing strengths. Conversations aim to increase confidence, improve coping with stress, and reduce behaviors that cause harm.
Her work draws on several approaches, including client-centered methods that follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques that address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and motivational strategies to boost readiness for change. Shelia also uses elements of dialectical behavior ideas and solution-focused tools when they match a person's goals.
Sessions are paced to fit each person. Shelia helps people identify small, doable changes and then practices those skills together. She emphasizes encouragement and measurable progress rather than long lists of abstract goals.
People who choose her often want direct support for caregiving stress, drug and alcohol addiction, money and financial worries, or parenting strain. Shelia invites those ready to take a step to begin a matching process and schedule a first appointment.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace, letting them shape what gets worked on. This approach helps people who need a supportive, listening space to sort through parenting stress, trauma, or addiction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to improve mood and functioning. It is useful for addressing self-esteem problems, anxiety, and behavior patterns tied to substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Those skills can help with caregiver stress and situations that feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up, and adjustments are made together.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also support steady momentum between appointments by keeping work consistent even when schedules are tight.
