About Shana
Shana Funk is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and depression. She frames hard moments as opportunities for small, manageable change instead of overwhelming crises. Her tone in sessions is practical and steady, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
Shana believes progress often comes from doable steps rather than big leaps. She guides people through those steps and stays with them as they try new ways of handling relationships and routines.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on problem solving, developing better sleep and stress habits, and improving interactions at home. With ten years of professional experience, Shana combines grounded listening with straightforward suggestions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood problems, anxiety, and family tensions.
She also supports people working through issues like abandonment, caregiver stress, control struggles, and feelings of isolation. Clients can expect clear discussion of goals and practical tasks between meetings. Shana pays attention to how daily routines, role expectations, and personal values shape behavior.
She encourages small experiments to test what helps and what does not. Shana is licensed to practice in Indiana as an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She offers sessions in English and is open to working with international clients.
The overall aim is steady, realistic change that fits each person’s life.
Practical approaches for online family and stress work
Shana uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote sessions. One common approach helps people build better sleep and stress habits through small, concrete steps - changing routines, adjusting sleep timing, and testing what reduces nighttime worry. Another approach focuses on emotion and behavior in family interactions by identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and trying brief experiments at home to see what changes how people relate. These methods target anxiety, mood shifts, sleep problems, and everyday family tensions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, talk about goals, and recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist decide together and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits each person's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can feel more flexible for busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings and get short-term support when questions come up. These options give more ways to keep therapy consistent around family schedules and day-to-day demands.
