Shane Lopez

Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people navigating identity questions, ADHD, and life changes. He welcomes clients who want to make sense of difficult feelings and find clearer direction.

Shane brings nine years of counseling experience to sessions. He draws on storytelling, metaphor, and straightforward conversation to help people notice their values and assumptions. Sessions are often a mix of education and gentle reframing so clients can see patterns and try different responses.

He uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also works with existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, and with narrative techniques to rewrite the stories people tell about themselves.

Shane aims for an open, nonjudgmental tone. He encourages clients to name what matters and to take small, realistic steps toward change. His style is interactive and down-to-earth, with room for curiosity and humor when it helps.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Shane invites them to share their story and together map the next steps. He supports longer or shorter work depending on what best fits the situation and goals.

He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is licensed through the Louisiana LPC Board.

How Shane Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Shane integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy into his work in simple, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and experiment with alternative, more empowering narratives.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shane collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of techniques as the work progresses. He encourages clients to ask questions and offers explanations so decisions are shared and clear.
