About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people make sense of difficult moments. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, career dilemmas, and life changes. He also supports people navigating ADHD, gender dysphoria, LGBT issues, and a range of identity and sexual-culture questions.
Shane brings nine years of counseling experience to sessions. He blends education with conversational work to help clients notice patterns and test new ways of thinking.
Background and approach
He often uses storytelling and metaphor to reframe problems so they feel more manageable. Clients can expect an interactive, nonjudgmental conversation. Shane aims to help people identify values, assumptions, and habits that shape daily life.
He balances practical strategies with deeper reflection so progress can happen between sessions as well as during them. His background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and licensure as a Louisiana LPC. That training informs his use of narrative approaches alongside cognitive-behavioral and existential ideas.
He draws on those methods to tailor work to each person’s needs. People seeking help typically start by sharing what matters most to them. Shane then collaborates on goals and steps that fit day-to-day realities.
He welcomes stories about life, identity, and relationships and helps clients make clearer choices about what comes next.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Shane draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell the stories they live by, looking for alternative meanings and choices within those stories. This approach can be useful for identity questions, shame, and long-standing patterns that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Existential therapy invites conversations about values, purpose, and responsibility when people face big life changes or questions about meaning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques - reframing a story one week and practicing a behavioral skill the next - so clients can see what helps in practice.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send notes, check in between sessions, or fit support around work and daily life. These options aim to make it easier to keep progress consistent and practical.
