About Shelia

Shelia Storey, LPC, focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, trauma, parenting stress, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and helps clients build practical skills to manage difficult moments. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the first steps easier for people reaching out.

With 20 years of experience licensed in Georgia, she draws on straightforward, goal-oriented methods. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow each person's perspective.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure where to start. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, achievable steps so progress feels visible and manageable.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when strong emotions need more effective ways of coping. Sessions aim to combine practical tools with steady support. She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their lives and helps them use their strengths to move forward.

Expect a calm, respectful space where goals are clarified and small, concrete actions are planned. Parents who feel overwhelmed by day-to-day demands can get targeted strategies for stress, boundaries, and communication. She also addresses caregiver strain, money-related stress, and drug and alcohol concerns with concrete steps and check-ins.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work through parenting stress, trauma, or addiction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps build different habits and coping strategies for everyday problems.

Motivational Interviewing is useful when someone wants change but feels unsure where to start; it helps find internal reasons to move forward and set realistic goals. These methods are used collaboratively - the therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video works well for full conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share progress between sessions or check in with short updates. These formats make it easier to get support around work, caregiving, and daily life demands.
