About Shana
Shana Funk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and depression. Shana also works with issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, control struggles, forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, midlife transitions, mood concerns, narcissism, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses small, practical steps to help people change difficult situations. Sessions are oriented to everyday life - work demands, family logistics, sleep routines, and managing worry. Conversations aim to identify what is working, what is not, and one simple next step to try.
Shana’s approach is straightforward and action focused. She listens to the details of a person’s day and the patterns that create stress. From there she suggests small experiments and adjustments people can test between sessions. Progress is tracked in concrete ways, such as sleep patterns, stress levels, or relationship interactions.
Her background includes a decade of practice in social work settings in Indiana. That experience informs a practical perspective on caregiver strain, parenting questions, and midlife transitions. She encourages manageable changes rather than large overhauls.
People who choose to work with her should expect direct conversation about routines, responsibilities, and coping strategies. The process is collaborative - she helps people name problems, try new actions, and notice what changes over time.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Shana frames work around practical, evidence-based techniques that change daily routines and reactions. One common approach focuses on small behavioral changes - identifying a single habit to adjust and testing it for a few weeks to see if stress or sleep improves. This method helps with sleep problems, anxiety, and ordinary stressors.Another approach emphasizes skills for managing worry and social anxiety, such as brief exposure to feared situations or stepwise reduction of avoidance. These techniques are used to lower day-to-day anxiety and to build confidence in social interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying one technique, checking how it goes, and adapting based on results.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit work, family, and appointments into a busy day. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and let people practice strategies in the settings where stress actually happens.
