How his approaches guide online work

Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people untangle thoughts and stories that keep them stuck. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories so they feel less limiting and more actionable.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will work with each person to see which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. He combines practical skill-building with conversations about values so clients can test small changes and notice what helps.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote conversations to teach CBT skills, review personal narratives, and support change in everyday routines, helping clients practice new responses between sessions.
