About Shane

Shane Robinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, anger, addiction, and coping with major life changes.

He offers one-to-one counseling that focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to cover patterns of thinking, emotional reactions, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Sessions also look at relationship patterns and communication problems that contribute to ongoing tension.

Shane draws on a mix of approaches to match a person's situation. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and dialectical behavior strategies for managing intense feelings. He also uses emotionally-focused methods when relationship dynamics are a central concern.

Expect straightforward, skills-based work aimed at clearer thinking and steadier behavior. Shane helps people identify practical steps for handling anger, reducing impulsivity, and improving communication. He emphasizes learning concrete coping tools and practicing them in everyday moments.

Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are provided in English and international clients are not accepted.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It helps with avoidance, ongoing worry, and frustration that comes from feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that fuel anger and impulsivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skill sets for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and based on what actually helps a person in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose setups that suit them, such as audio-only if video is difficult or a scheduled midday slot to avoid evening strain.
