About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes. He works with concerns that include trauma, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and questions around gender and sexual identity. Shane practices from Louisiana and brings nine years of counseling experience to his work.
He encourages straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He blends teaching with reflective listening so clients can test new ways of thinking and responding. Shane often uses storytelling and metaphor to reframe difficult experiences into more manageable stories. His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
He also uses elements of Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the way they tell their life story. Existential ideas are part of his work when questions about meaning, purpose, or identity come up. Shane explains things in plain language and invites clients to be active in shaping their goals.
Sessions may focus on skill practice, goal setting, or closer examination of patterns that cause pain. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental place to talk through whatever feels most urgent. People who want direct feedback, clear strategies, and an exploratory conversation about values and identity may find his style helpful.
Shane supports exploration of topics like body image, family of origin issues, substance use, kink and alternative sex culture, isolation, and life purpose.
How Shane’s Approaches Work Online
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and stress in place, then practice small changes that can make daily life easier. Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to rewrite those stories in ways that reduce shame and increase agency. Existential ideas help when someone is wrestling with meaning, purpose, or identity questions and wants to explore values and life direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Shane sees it as a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy proceeds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth or focus on audio is preferred, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when a shorter written check-in fits someone’s routine. These options help people stay consistent with care while juggling work, travel, or other commitments.
