About Shawn
Shawn King is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who practices in New Hampshire. She brings nine years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and parenting concerns. Shawn uses straightforward, compassionate care to help people make practical changes in daily life.
She draws on several evidence-based approaches to meet each person where they are. Shawn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices.
Background and approach
She also incorporates client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to strengthen emotional awareness and connection. Her work pays attention to how the body and nervous system respond to stress and trauma. Shawn integrates techniques that support regulation of bodily reactions so people can feel more present and engaged.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with skills you can apply between meetings. Shawn supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, mood challenges, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and women's issues.
Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shawn practices as an LPC and as an LCMHC, and she works from the perspective that people have the capacity to heal and grow when given practical tools and steady support.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about parenting or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change habits that worsen anxiety or mood problems. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and managing day-to-day stress.
Shawn treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that feel doable and meaningful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing encouragement between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other demands.
