About Shane
Shane Lopez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with nine years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, career questions, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Shane uses practical conversation and clear exercises rather than long lectures. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with existential and narrative ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. He often uses storytelling and metaphor to make patterns easier to see.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and on examining the assumptions that shape choices. Shane helps people reframe upsetting thoughts, test small behavior changes, and track what works. He explains things plainly and checks in about progress as the work continues.
He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and maintains his LPC credential through the Louisiana LPC Board. That background supports work on a wide range of concerns from addiction and trauma to questions of identity and life purpose.
People can expect a practical, interactive style. Shane combines short exercises, thought records, and conversational re-authoring of personal stories. He encourages clear goals and regular review so sessions stay focused on what matters most.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts that lead to distress and try small behavior changes to see what helps. He also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell their stories in ways that reduce shame and open choices. Existential Therapy is used to discuss values, meaning, and how decisions fit a person’s sense of purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shane will talk with the client about goals, try practical tools, and adjust methods if something is not helping. That collaboration guides which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let some people avoid travel time. Shane aims to keep online work focused and skills-based, so exercises, thought records, and story-based reauthoring can be completed between sessions to track progress.
