About Shane

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with nine years of experience. Shane Lopez focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, relationships, family issues, intimacy-related matters, career changes, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy in his work.

Shane blends education with reframing during sessions. He talks through values, assumptions, and ideals with clients so they can see patterns and make different choices. He often uses storytelling and metaphor to help people understand their experiences in plain terms.

Sessions are presented as conversational and interactive. Shane aims to help people name what’s happening, try small changes, and notice what shifts. That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, testing a behavior, or reworking a personal story to reduce distress.

Shane draws on nine years in counseling and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He holds the LPC credential from the Louisiana LPC Board and works from those clinical foundations. His background includes work with addiction and trauma concerns alongside mood and identity-related issues.

People bring many kinds of problems to his work - from substance concerns to uncertainty about life direction. He encourages clear practical steps and uses metaphor to make complex feelings easier to talk about. If a reader wants to proceed, they are asked to follow the site’s booking flow to outline goals and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems where changing patterns of thinking or action helps reduce distress.

He also works with Narrative Therapy, which treats personal stories as changeable. Narrative work helps people separate themselves from problem descriptions and reconsider life themes and identities.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shane will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what is helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use conversation-based techniques, storytelling, and homework practice from everyday settings rather than needing to attend an office.
