Shana Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana who brings over 10 years of professional experience to her work with individuals and families. She focuses on guiding people through stress, anxiety, family conflict, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, and depression, and she also attends to related concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, control issues, forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, mood disorders, narcissism, and social anxiety.

Shana approaches change as a series of small, meaningful steps rather than a singular, dramatic event. She emphasizes practical adjustments and steady progress to address everyday pressures and improve relationships. With a passion for helping people build healthier routines and stronger family dynamics, she offers grounded support for those navigating parenting demands, relationship tensions, or disrupted sleep patterns.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Shana honors the courage it takes to seek help. She works with people who are ready to explore manageable strategies and move toward greater balance. Shana provides services in English and accepts international clients, meeting clients where they are and helping them identify realistic goals for growth.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Shana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to stress and anxiety that focus on teaching practical coping skills and emotion regulation strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. These approaches help people develop tools they can use between sessions to manage worry and tension.

For family and parenting concerns she applies family-focused strategies that emphasize communication, boundary-setting, and problem-solving to improve relationships and daily routines. For sleep-related difficulties she incorporates behavioral strategies aimed at adjusting habits and routines that support healthier sleep patterns and reduce nighttime disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shana collaborates with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Shana offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain consistent support regardless of location.
