Shane Lopez, LPC

Shane Lopez brings more than nine years of experience in counseling and mental health therapy to his work with individuals seeking clearer direction and greater well-being. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a graduate-level qualification that trained him in assessment, therapeutic techniques, and clinical practice, and he is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana. Shane welcomes people who feel their lives have become confusing, heavy, or unfamiliar and offers steady, collaborative support as they explore what matters most to them.

His approach blends education with gentle reframing, inviting clients to examine their values, assumptions, and beliefs through open, nonjudgmental conversation. He frequently uses storytelling and metaphor to help people reframe difficult experiences and make sense of their personal narratives. That interactive style emphasizes both understanding and practical insight, aiming to help clients move forward at a pace that fits their needs.

Shane invites prospective clients to share their stories and to work together on finding meaning and workable strategies for change. He is available to accompany people through short-term concerns or longer journeys of growth as needed.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shane integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients make practical changes and find personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, stress, and low mood and to develop coping skills for everyday challenges. Existential Therapy explores questions about purpose, freedom, and personal responsibility, helping people facing life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or uncertainty about identity to clarify values and make intentional choices. Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves, offering ways to reauthor those narratives so individuals can separate problems from identity and build alternative, more empowering perspectives.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This cooperative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from locations that suit them. These options support consistent engagement by fitting therapy into busy schedules and varied life circumstances.
