About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with nine years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and family of origin issues. He also supports people facing questions about gender, sexual identity, and body image.
Shane uses a conversational, practical style. He combines clear explanation and reframing to help people notice patterns that came from their family and early life. He often uses storytelling and metaphor to make difficult ideas easier to follow. Sessions are focused and straightforward.
People who come for help can expect Shane to ask about values, assumptions, and daily routines. He helps map how old roles and expectations still show up now. He will talk through concrete steps that can change small behaviors and reduce recurring stress.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and on Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories. He also uses elements of Existential Therapy to consider meaning, choice, and responsibility. These methods aim to clarify what matters and make practical changes.
Shane has a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds the LPC credential from Louisiana. He works with adults who want to understand how family patterns affect current relationships, work, and self-esteem. If the idea of tracing family-of-origin patterns feels relevant, Shane starts by listening to the story and then works with each person to test manageable changes.
How Shane frames evidence-based approaches for online work
Shane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the story they tell about their life. It can be useful for family of origin issues and for reframing damaging narratives into more workable ones. Existential Therapy addresses choices, responsibility, and meaning. It can help when people feel stuck, aimless, or are questioning life direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane treats that as a collaborative process. He will discuss these methods, try some techniques, and adjust the plan to fit the client’s goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single route.
