About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and ADHD. He works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, and life changes. He also supports people navigating gender and sexual identity questions, body image, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Shane brings nine years of counseling experience to his sessions and holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Background and approach
He keeps conversations straightforward and approachable. He aims to make therapy feel like a careful conversation where clients can describe what’s happening in their lives. His style combines practical education with gentle reframing.
He often uses storytelling and metaphor to help people see patterns and make different choices. Sessions tend to focus on concrete ways to cope and on clarifying values and goals. Shane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to shape work with clients.
That means he helps people notice unhelpful thinking, reflect on meaning and purpose, and rewrite difficult parts of their life stories in more useful ways. People who meet with Shane typically work on short-term skills as well as deeper questions about identity and purpose. He aims to match tools to the problem at hand while keeping conversations open and nonjudgmental.
If someone wants someone to listen, ask questions, and offer practical steps, he offers that blend of support and structure.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and ADHD-related struggles. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping them separate themselves from problems and try new storylines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will listen to your situation and goals, then suggest ways of working that fit your needs and preferences. He adjusts methods over time so the work stays useful rather than fixed to one style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when face-to-face interaction helps the conversation. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or keeping therapy flexible around a busy schedule.
