About Shane

Shane Crockett is a licensed Independent Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with 17 years of clinical experience. He offers help for common family and parenting stresses as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life changes such as caregiving or chronic illness.

Shane trained to a Masters of Arts in Counseling and has worked with children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families in a range of settings.

Background and approach

He draws on practical skills from several therapy styles to match what each person needs. He emphasizes clear, direct conversation and steady support rather than long lists of labels. In sessions he focuses on finding the best fit for the client.

That can include skills practice from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion work from attachment-based methods, or acceptance strategies from ACT. He talks through options and helps people try approaches that feel useful in daily life. He also brings experience addressing more complex presentations, including co-occurring conditions and major mental health diagnoses.

Shane encourages questions and open discussion so families and individuals understand the plan for therapy. Parents often find his style practical and straightforward. He helps break big problems into steps, teaches coping skills, and supports changes that improve family interactions and daily routines.

Evidence-based approaches for online family support

Shane frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers clear exercises and step-by-step tools for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting routines.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients make room for difficult feelings while taking action toward their values. ACT is useful for stress, chronic illness, and coping with life changes where avoidance often makes things harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will discuss options and decide together which methods best fit a family's goals and daily life. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make that collaboration easier to keep up with. Video calls let therapists and family members meet face to face from different locations, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give flexible ways to check in between meetings. These options help parents fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
