He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges around relationships and parenting. Shane draws on practical therapies to help people manage emotions and move forward.

How Shane works
Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are part of his approach when people need to clarify goals and change unhelpful stories about themselves. Shane’s style is straightforward and collaborative. He listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable steps.
Sessions often include skills practice and short assignments to try between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. He has experience addressing attachment issues, communication problems, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and workplace stress.
Shane also supports people coping with life purpose, self-love, social anxiety, and bipolar-related concerns. His work blends coaching elements when clients want practical strategies for daily life. Shane offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Meetings are conducted in English and Shane does not accept international clients at this time.

How Shane’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful partnership so people can talk through difficult feelings and goals. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to make sense of their situation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses clear techniques and exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and frequent mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shane will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques across sessions and checks in to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping therapy practical and goal-focused.
