Shane Lopez , LPC

Shane Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with more than nine years of experience in counseling and mental health therapy. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and applies that training to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, career transitions, ADHD, and related challenges.

Shane works with a wide range of issues including LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, family of origin and family problems, substance-related difficulties, body image, and questions about life purpose. His approach combines clinical skill with creativity: he blends educational elements and practical reframing with storytelling and metaphor so clients can better understand the narratives that shape their experience.

Therapy with Shane emphasizes collaborative exploration of values, assumptions, and personal meanings in an open, nonjudgmental conversation. He uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods alongside existential and narrative perspectives to offer both actionable strategies and deeper reflection. He accepts international clients and provides flexible options for receiving care. Those ready to share their story will find a therapist prepared to accompany them through change for as long as it may be helpful.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shane Lopez draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and narrative therapy to tailor online care to each person's needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools that can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral patterns. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, responsibility, and personal values, which can be useful for questions about life purpose, emptiness, isolation, and major life transitions. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and reframe those narratives to reduce shame, address identity concerns, and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shane works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and he adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Shane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and geographic constraints, and they support ongoing communication and continuity of care with a licensed professional regardless of where a client is located.
