About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges such as ADHD and life transitions.
Background and approach
He also addresses areas like family problems, gender dysphoria, substance issues, body image, and questions around identity and purpose. With nine years of clinical experience, Shane combines practical techniques and reflective conversation to help clients navigate difficult moments and make clearer choices.
His approach blends educational tools with narrative and metaphor to help clients reframe assumptions and explore personal values in an open, nonjudgmental setting. Shane draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify patterns that maintain distress while inviting clients to consider meaning and personal stories that shape their experience.
He aims to create a collaborative space where people can tell their story, experiment with new perspectives, and develop skills for managing symptoms and life changes. Shane accepts clients in English and works with people locally in Louisiana as well as international clients through online formats.
He invites prospective clients to connect and begin a process of making greater sense of their path and options for change.
Evidence-informed approaches for online therapeutic work
Shane integrates cognitive behavioral ideas with narrative and existential thinking to support clients in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical tools to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic coping. Narrative Therapy emphasizes the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the problem from the person so alternative, healthier stories can be developed. Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, values, and personal responsibility to help individuals facing life transitions, isolation, or questions of purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shane collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions and conversational styles so therapy feels relevant and workable for each person, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online work provides flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the interaction mode that best supports their engagement and comfort.
