About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. He also focuses on issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, gender dysphoria, and problems related to family of origin and family relationships.
Shane uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort out what matters to them. He blends education and cognitive reframing with storytelling and metaphor. Sessions are conversational and practical. He helps people notice the stories they tell themselves and try out different ways of thinking and behaving.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, Existential Therapy to examine meaning and choice, and Narrative Therapy to rework personal stories. He often pairs these methods so work on thoughts, values, and life narratives happens together. That mix can feel straightforward and sometimes surprising.
Shane aims to make sessions an opportunity to test ideas and learn new habits. He encourages clear goals and small experiments between meetings. Work in therapy may include tracking reactions, practicing different responses, and reframing difficult memories or beliefs.
People who come to him for relationship or family concerns can expect focused, adult-centered conversation about boundaries, communication, and personal responsibility. He accepts international clients and holds his LPC credential through the Louisiana LPC board.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this often involves clear exercises and homework that fit well into day-to-day life. He also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves, which can relieve shame and open new choices. Existential Therapy is used to look at values, meaning, and responsibility when life feels confusing or empty.Choosing the right approach is something Shane does together with each person. He discusses goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggests which methods to try first. Sessions often shift as needs change, so the plan is reviewed and adjusted collaboratively.
The practical benefit of online work is being able to fit sessions into a regular week without extra travel. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online meetings can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, keep sessions shorter when needed, or avoid video if that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can use online formats to continue the same CBT exercises, narrative work, and value-focused conversations that they would in person.
