Shawn King is a licensed counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in New Hampshire. Shawn aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can take practical steps toward feeling better.

Shawn draws on multiple approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and focus on valued action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thinking and build different behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered methods guide conversations about feelings and relationships.

Her background includes nine years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents on trauma, panic, and mood concerns. She pays attention to how the body responds to stress and incorporates techniques that support nervous system regulation. That work aims to help people feel more present and connected in daily life.

Shawn also helps people facing life shifts such as divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, caregiving stress, and questions about life purpose. She addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, and self-love while supporting clearer communication and healthier boundaries.

Sessions combine practical skills with steady support. Shawn works collaboratively to set goals and practices that fit each person's situation. She encourages small, doable steps so progress feels manageable and meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce panic, mood symptoms, and social anxiety. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered work supports exploring feelings and improving connection in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include brief experiments, skill practice, and regular check-ins to see what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls let you work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing practice between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and varied routines.
