About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with relationship or intimacy concerns, career questions, ADHD, depression, and identity matters including LGBT and gender dysphoria. His tone is direct and conversational to make first steps easier for someone who is unsure what to expect.
Shane brings nine years of counseling experience and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Background and approach
He holds an LPC credential issued by the Louisiana LPC Board. He frames work around each person’s story rather than a checklist of symptoms. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns.
He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people weigh values and meaning. Narrative Therapy helps him and clients reframe personal stories that feel stuck. In sessions Shane combines teaching with open conversation.
He often uses storytelling and metaphor to make difficult ideas easier to grasp. The pace is collaborative and practical - small experiments and shifts are common parts of the plan. Shane works with a wide range of concerns beyond phobias, including addiction, body image, family of origin issues, and sexual identity topics like kink and BDSM culture.
He aims to help people build clearer choices and more satisfying daily life. To begin, he asks clients to share what matters most to them and what they hope will change. From there he helps map simple steps toward those goals, adjusting as needs evolve.
How Shane's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns, which can be practiced in short online exercises and homework between sessions. He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and revise their own stories, a process that works well in conversation whether by video or text.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane treats the first sessions as a chance to learn what matters to the client and then he collaborates on which methods to try. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what the client finds useful and manageable.
Online formats offer practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations and easier use of visual metaphors. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins and brief coaching easier between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and differing comfort levels while keeping the focus on useful skills and clearer choices.
