About Shane
Shane King is a licensed clinical social worker with thirteen years of experience. He practices in Connecticut and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Shane focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while also addressing depression and trauma.
He works to create a clear path forward for people feeling stuck. Shane uses straightforward conversation to help clients identify patterns that cause distress. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to build coping skills and emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve breaking problems into manageable steps and testing small changes between meetings. He also addresses relationship concerns and family or parenting stress without assuming a single solution fits everyone. Shane pays attention to attachment and communication issues that show up across relationships.
He helps people name expectations and set boundaries that feel doable. For those wrestling with shame, guilt, or questions about life purpose, he uses narrative techniques to reframe stories people tell about themselves. Motivational interviewing can help when making big changes feels overwhelming or stalled.
The goal is practical progress you can notice in day-to-day life. Shane holds LCSW credentials and has worked across clinical and management roles. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people and schedule their first session.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around their priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become intense and hard to manage.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining listening-focused work with CBT skill practice or trying motivational interviewing when motivation for change is uneven.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick support, ongoing coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person's schedule and communication style.
