    About Shane

    Shane Schuhmacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on practical, goal-minded therapy. He draws on Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to help people clarify goals and make changes that matter. Shane writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person.

    He has five years of counseling experience and nearly two decades in human services before that. That background gave him time to see many life challenges up close and to learn what tools tend to help. In sessions he uses cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies to address problems step by step.

    Shane commonly helps people work through depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and anger. He also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, parenting strains, career questions, and compassion fatigue. He approaches each concern with active listening and reflective feedback to keep conversations clear and useful.

    Therapy with him is client-centered. He aims to meet people with respect and an attitude of unconditional positive regard. Together he and the client set realistic goals and try small, practical steps toward change.

    Shane asks people to expect a collaborative process. He helps clients notice patterns, test new behaviors, and reevaluate what works. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the Start Therapy flow to begin.

  2. How Shane’s approaches translate to online work

    Shane commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered techniques. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and find personal reasons to try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters most in daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will help you and him decide which methods make sense for your goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress unfolds.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to practice new skills, plan small experiments, and track progress between meetings.
