Shane Lopez

Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and eating and food-related concerns. He works with clients on relationship issues, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, and life changes. Shane also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, and questions around gender and sexual identity.

He has nine years of experience in counseling and mental health work and holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Shane approaches sessions as a conversation where education and practical reframing play a big role. He avoids jargon and aims for clear, simple language that someone worried or overwhelmed can follow.

His style mixes storytelling and metaphor with direct discussion. Shane helps clients notice patterns, rethink assumptions, and connect actions to values. Sessions often involve looking at thoughts and behaviors and trying small, manageable changes to test what feels different.

Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy ideas to guide the work. He encourages people to tell their story and to try new ways of interpreting difficult events. The work focuses on what matters now and on small steps that fit everyday life.

People who prefer a collaborative and plainspoken approach may find his style useful. He accepts clients who communicate in English and is willing to work with international clients through the platform. To start, follow the matching steps and schedule a session that fits your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear steps and experiments to change daily habits.

He also draws on Narrative Therapy ideas, which focus on the stories people tell about themselves. Narrative work helps separate a person from a problem and then rewrite parts of that story to reflect values and strengths.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and he will adjust the plan as progress is made. The conversation is practical and exploratory rather than strictly prescriptive.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since none are listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and let people meet their therapist from different locations. Licensed professionals can still use CBT and narrative techniques effectively over distance, focusing on real-life experiments, homework, and story-based exercises that carry over between sessions.
