About Shane

Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with nine years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, career questions, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Shane also notes focused experience around autism and Asperger syndrome, kink and alternative sex culture, body image, gender dysphoria, and related concerns.

Shane blends education with reframing to help people see patterns in their thinking and behavior. He uses storytelling, metaphor, and straight conversation to make ideas more concrete. Sessions often involve looking at values, assumptions, and the stories a person tells about their life.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical changes. He also uses Narrative Therapy techniques to reframe personal stories and Existential Therapy to discuss meaning and choices. These methods aim to link thought, feeling, and action in clear steps.

Clients can expect interactive sessions where Shane talks through examples and invites reflection. He emphasizes practical tools alongside discussion so people can test changes between meetings. He frames work in everyday terms rather than jargon.

Shane accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. He holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and maintains his LPC credential with the Louisiana LPC Board. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Shane Uses CBT, Narrative, and Existential Ideas Online

Shane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anger and stress. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments you can try between sessions to test new ways of reacting.

Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories someone tells about themselves and their relationships. Reframing parts of those stories can reduce shame, isolation, and stuck patterns that feed resentment or impulsive behavior.

Existential Therapy prompts conversations about values, choice, and meaning when life feels confusing or empty. This approach can help people facing big decisions, identity questions, or a sense of drifting that increases irritability.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Shane works with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the focus as needs change. Conversations and practical exercises guide that selection rather than a fixed formula.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed.
