Je pense à elle ?

Je pense à elle ?

When I enter "I think about her" into google translate, it tells me the correct translation is "Je pense à elle"

Why would it not be "Je lui pense" ? Is 'she' not the indirect pronoun with this verb?

Is it only when 'à' translates to 'to' rather than 'about'?

Thanks

Moi/toi/lui/elle/soi/nous/vous/eux/elles - advanced usages (French Stress Pronouns) See this lesson. Elle here is the use of stress pronoun.
