About Shane
Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps men and others navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and questions about identity and relationships. He focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, anger, isolation, and life changes. Shane aims to make the first steps less overwhelming and more manageable.
With nine years of experience in counseling and mental health work, Shane draws on a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and his LPC credential from Louisiana. He keeps sessions conversational and practical, using storytelling and metaphor to clarify difficult feelings and situations.
Shane's style mixes education with reframing. He helps people notice the beliefs that shape their choices and gently challenges unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include real-world ideas for testing small changes between meetings.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to link thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear ways. He also brings elements of narrative and existential approaches to help people name their story and consider meaning and purpose. These methods are aimed at concerns such as ADHD, trauma, intimacy issues, body image, and substance use.
Shane supports work around topics that can be sensitive or stigmatized, including gender identity questions, kink and alternative sex culture, and relationship problems like infidelity and jealousy. He invites people to share their story and to try out new perspectives in a steady, respectful conversation.
How narrative and cognitive work translates to online therapy
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help people spot how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and to practice clear, testable changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD patterns, and problems with impulsivity.He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reshape the stories they live by. That work focuses on naming dominant themes in a person's life and exploring other possible meanings for problems like isolation, shame, or identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Shane works with each person to decide whether CBT, narrative methods, or an existential lens fit best for their goals. He checks in and adjusts the plan as work proceeds, so the approach matches what the client needs and prefers.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue care while traveling or living outside the therapist's state, so discuss preferences and logistics when you begin.
