About Shane
In sessions Shane uses skills-based methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, build emotion-regulation skills, and take concrete steps toward values-based goals. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Shane works with people dealing with addiction, intimacy-related issues, anger, career concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He also supports those coping with trauma, first responder stress, and personality-related challenges such as dependent or avoidant patterns. He aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Clients can expect short-term tools for immediate relief alongside longer-term work on patterns and relationships. Shane blends skill practice, reflective discussion, and action plans so people leave each session with something usable. He practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Shane notes that subscription sessions can be canceled at any time and that fees vary with location and scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take action that aligns with their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and decisions tied to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through practical exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for strong emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts tools over time and checks in regularly to make sure progress feels relevant and realistic.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people keep therapy consistent during times of transition, and supports homework, skills practice, and check-ins between sessions without requiring extra time to commute.
