Shana Funk, LCSW

Shana Funk is a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, and family-related struggles. She often helps people facing midlife questions and moments of change. Shana welcomes international clients and works from Indiana. Her approach is practical and steady. She encourages small, meaningful changes rather than sudden overhauls. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems looping and offers concrete steps to try between meetings. The tone is supportive and direct, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. Shana often addresses issues tied to relationships, such as abandonment worries, caregiver stress, control concerns, and difficulty forgiving. She also works with mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and feelings of isolation or lack of purpose. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work while tailoring techniques to each person’s needs. People meet her to sort through practical problems like sleep disruption, parenting strain, or persistent worry. She helps name the small adjustments that can ease pressure and restore a sense of direction. Sessions emphasize doable steps and realistic goals. Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling when a time is found. Shana asks clients to come ready to try modest changes between sessions so progress can build week by week.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Shana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to address symptoms and daily habits. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see what helps. This method is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and repetitive worry. Another frequently used technique emphasizes behavior and routine adjustments to improve sleep and daily functioning. That work includes practical steps for sleep schedules, wind-down routines, and gradual shifts to reduce daytime stress. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their situation, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape the plan as progress is tracked. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for quicker check-ins during a break, and let someone meet with a licensed professional from wherever they are located.
