Shane Lopez, LPC

Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. He also works with concerns like depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and questions about sexual identity and kink culture. Shane writes simply and directly to people who feel stuck or unsure about their next steps.

He brings nine years of counseling experience to sessions and holds a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Shane uses an interactive style that mixes education with gentle reframing. He often uses storytelling and metaphor to make difficult topics easier to talk about and understand.

In conversation he aims to uncover values, assumptions, and personal meaning. Sessions tend to be open and nonjudgmental, with the therapist asking questions and offering different ways to think about a problem. People can expect practical conversation alongside reflective work about life choices and identity.

Shane pays attention to the concrete parts of daily life that shape feelings and behavior. He helps people name patterns, test small changes, and track what shifts over time. This approach is meant to make progress feel understandable and manageable rather than overwhelming.

He works from Louisiana and offers services in English. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site process to match with him and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches used in online counseling and what they do

Shane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to guide sessions. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test small changes to daily routines and thinking patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and managing impulsivity.

Narrative Therapy treats a person’s life as a set of stories they tell about themselves. The therapist helps people name unhelpful stories, consider alternate meanings, and try out new ways of describing their choices and identity. This can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, family of origin concerns, and questions about gender or kink culture.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. He listens to what matters, suggests options, and adjusts the plan based on what actually helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography doesn’t list formats. Online work can make scheduling easier, shorten commute time, and let people fit check-ins into a busy day. It also allows therapists to use exercises, journaling, and structured CBT tools in ways that fit everyday routines.
