Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Shane directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Shane often blends Narrative Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make sense of their struggles and try concrete changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps identify alternative meanings, which can shift how someone sees a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thought and behavior patterns and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, or unwanted reactions.

He also uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s priorities central. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Shane will talk through goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether storytelling, skills practice, or a mixture will be most useful for a given concern.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages for his practice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to match the format to the moment and to keep therapy consistent over time.
