About Shane

Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. He works with concerns related to trauma, anger, relationship and family problems, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Shane welcomes conversations about gender identity and LGBT concerns, and supports people navigating body image, sexual culture, and complicated relationship situations.

He draws on nine years of experience in counseling and mental health care.

Background and approach

His approach mixes plain conversation with occasional storytelling and metaphor. Shane aims to make hard topics easier to name and think about in day-to-day terms. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and finding practical ways to move forward.

Shane uses techniques from Existential Therapy to look at meaning and choice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories. He combines these approaches to fit the issues a person brings rather than following a single script. The result is a flexible process that centers the client's goals.

Shane earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds an LPC from Louisiana. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Format options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

If someone is ready to begin, he suggests starting with a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session. That initial conversation is used to map out goals and decide how to proceed together.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how a person wants to live. Online sessions can use this approach to talk through big questions about purpose, values, and how to respond to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that cause distress and then practicing concrete skills to change them; this works well online with worksheets, short practice tasks, and focused conversations. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems in their story and rewrite unhelpful narratives, which adapts easily to talk-based online work and written exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means adjusting pace, mixing techniques, and checking in often so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and real-time interaction help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, ongoing reflection, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or different time zones while keeping the work focused on practical change and meaning.
