How Shane works
He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practices from Louisiana. His background includes work with a wide range of concerns from substance use and compulsive behaviors to body image and feelings of emptiness. In sessions he combines practical, educational work with conversational exploration.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to look at thinking patterns and Narrative Therapy to frame personal stories. He also draws on Existential Therapy to examine meaning, values, and life choices. Shane often works with metaphor and storytelling to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
He focuses on helping people reframe confusing or painful experiences. Sessions are intended to be interactive, clear, and grounded in the client’s real life challenges. People who reach out can expect a calm, curious counselor who asks questions and offers tools.
Shane aims to help clients build better habits, reduce distress, and make more deliberate choices about relationships and life direction.

How Shane’s methods translate to online therapy
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive habits. He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can reduce shame and clarify values. Existential Therapy appears in sessions as questions about meaning, choice, and life direction to help people who feel stuck or uncertain.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shane will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. He listens to what matters most, adjusts methods when something isn’t helping, and mixes practical skills with conversational exploration to fit individual needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls permit face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to send shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of distance.
