About Shane

Shane Schuhmacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on creating a clear, practical path forward. He emphasizes attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioral and client-centered approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel understandable and manageable.

Shane draws on five years of formal counseling experience and nearly two decades in human services. That background shapes how he listens and asks questions.

Background and approach

He uses active listening, reflections, and motivational interviewing to help people name what matters and find steps that fit their life. Sessions aim to build a trusting relationship so thoughts and emotions can be explored without judgment. Shane works with issues such as anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.

He also supports people coping with ADHD challenges and relationship concerns. Therapy sessions are client-centered and practical. Shane helps people test small changes, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed.

He often combines ideas from attachment-based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and CBT to address both thoughts and behavior. People who choose Shane can expect straightforward, respectful conversations. He focuses on clear goals, step-by-step plans, and skills that can be practiced between sessions.

He offers services from Wisconsin and conducts work in English.

Online support

How attachment ideas and practical therapy work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps people notice relationship habits and try new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns and cope with symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. The process is flexible and tailored rather than fixed, so the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when written reflection helps. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
