About Shana
Shana Funk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on stress, anxiety, family worries, sleep problems, parenting struggles, and depression. She frames hard moments as opportunities for change and encourages small, steady steps toward feeling better. Her tone is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at parents and caregivers who are juggling a lot.
Shana believes many problems get better with gradual adjustments rather than big fixes. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps build doable habits and routines. That can mean changing daily patterns, improving how people handle conflict, or trying new ways to cope with low mood and sleepless nights.
Her work draws on a decade of professional experience in Indiana as an LCSW. Over the years she has supported people facing caregiver stress, feelings of abandonment, struggles with control, and loneliness. She also helps those wrestling with life purpose, midlife shifts, mood concerns, and social anxiety.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps. Parents often get support around boundaries, routines, and managing overwhelm. People with sleep issues may work on habits and stress reduction techniques tied to better rest.
Taking the first step into therapy can feel hard, and Shana aims to make that step manageable. She encourages a steady pace and partnership in setting goals, and she helps people track small changes that add up over time.
Approaches and what online work can look like
Shana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One approach she often uses involves identifying daily habits and routines that increase stress or disrupt sleep, then testing small adjustments to improve rest and energy. This helps when sleeplessness is tied to busy schedules or nighttime worry.Another commonly used method focuses on coping skills for anxiety and mood. That involves learning short exercises to reduce overwhelm, practicing clearer ways to respond to conflict, and developing small steps to ease social worry or feelings of isolation. These tools aim to be useful between sessions, not just during them.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. Sessions are collaborative, and adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful.
