01About Shelia
Shelia Storey is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing addictions, trauma, parenting struggles, and low self-esteem. She draws on two decades of experience in Georgia to guide practical steps toward better daily functioning. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, and she emphasizes the client’s own strengths when planning change.
She believes people are the experts on their own stories and that small steps add up. In sessions she listens first, then works with clients to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Techniques may include skill-building for emotion regulation, strategies to reduce harmful behaviors, and ways to boost confidence and motivation. Shelia uses a mix of well known methods, chosen to fit each person’s needs. She may use cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, or solution-focused steps to target immediate problems.
Sessions are collaborative and geared toward usable tools for everyday life. Her background includes 20 years working in counseling roles across Georgia. That experience includes helping people manage substance use concerns and cope after traumatic events.
She also supports parents who are handling stress and caregiver responsibilities while juggling money or work pressures. Starting is kept simple: a short intake to match goals and decide on a plan. People seeking a therapist can expect clear, direct guidance and practical strategies they can try between sessions.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and builds a shared plan based on their strengths and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans together. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what the person needs and prefers over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging helps keep progress between sessions. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular contact and use skills in everyday moments.
