About Shane
LPC Shane Schuhmacher has 5 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career issues, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and motivational interviewing techniques.
Shane frames counseling as a practical process. He listens, reflects, and works to understand thoughts and emotions. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings. The aim is to help people manage difficult feelings and move toward goals they set for themselves.
His work often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening. That means looking at patterns of thinking, while also paying attention to how relationships and past experiences affect current reactions. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to build tolerance for distressing emotions without getting stuck in them.
Shane also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels uncertain or ambivalent. Attachment-informed ideas guide conversations about trust, connection, and how early relationship patterns show up now. These methods are applied to concerns like addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue as well as everyday stressors.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. People who choose him complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counselor asks about goals and works with each person to find approaches that fit their life and needs.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-directed steps even when difficult feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and offers concrete strategies to change those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and reflection so the person can explore concerns at their own pace and set their own goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences and will collaborate to pick techniques that seem most useful. That selection can shift as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it easier to schedule meetings around work or caregiving. They also let the therapist assign between-session practices like mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets that people can do in their day-to-day routine.
