Background and approach
His approach mixes clear, practical teaching with conversational reflection. He asks questions that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior. Sessions often use storytelling and metaphor to make things easier to talk about and understand.
Shane aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really mean and test new ways of handling stress and relationships. He works with people on concrete goals such as reducing anxiety, managing impulses, or addressing substance use.
People who choose to work with him should expect a collaborative process that combines Cognitive Behavioral ideas, narrative practices, and existential exploration. He encourages curiosity about values and meaning while working on daily skills that improve mood and functioning.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT focuses on small experiments and clear skills that can be practiced between sessions.He also draws on Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. This approach helps separate a person from a problem and opens up new ways to understand identity, relationships, and life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different exercises. Together they pick methods that feel useful and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice new skills between sessions.
