    About Shelia

    Shelia Storey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, and concerns about self-esteem. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making hard conversations feel manageable. Shelia encourages the small steps that lead to real change and recognizes how brave it is to begin.

    She sees each person as the expert on their own life. In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice strengths they may be overlooking. She uses practical strategies drawn from several therapy approaches to help with motivation, coping after trauma, and building confidence. Shelia pays attention to how everyday routines and decisions affect progress.

    When addiction or substance use is a concern, she focuses on motivation and clear problem solving rather than shame. For parenting challenges she works on concrete tools parents can try between sessions. For people recovering from abuse, she balances safety, pacing, and skills to reduce distress.

    Over two decades she has guided many clients through hard transitions and setbacks. Her approach blends goal-focused techniques with a client-centered attitude. Shelia invites people to start where they are and move forward at a pace that fits their lives.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change in a nonjudgmental way. It focuses on building motivation and making practical plans for steps forward, and it can be useful for issues like substance use and finding momentum to try something different.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what the person says, and follows their lead to create space for clearer thinking and self-directed change.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches concrete skills for coping, managing strong emotions, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress from life challenges.

    Finding the right approach is often part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration may shift over time as priorities change or new problems arise.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a break during a workday or avoiding travel time. Since the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. The therapist uses goal-focused techniques that translate well to remote work, and sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between meetings.
