About Shawn
Shawn King is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and parenting challenges. She practices in New Hampshire and draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide conversations and plan care. Shawn speaks English and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for clients to begin change.
She uses straightforward methods to help people feel more present and in control. Techniques include acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral skills, mindfulness practices, and emotionally focused conversation to improve relationships and coping.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical steps clients can try between meetings. Shawn pays attention to how the body and nervous system affect emotions and behavior. That perspective shapes work on trauma, panic, and compassion fatigue so clients can learn ways to calm physical reactions and stay engaged in daily life.
She adapts pacing and techniques to each person’s needs. Shawn also helps people facing caregiver stress, attachment concerns, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or pregnancy. She supports work on guilt, shame, forgiveness, self-love, and finding purpose.
Her approach mixes listening with skill-building so people leave sessions with concrete options. Working together starts with a conversation about goals and preferences. Shawn frames the process as collaborative, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.
Her aim is to help people take practical steps toward feeling steadier and more connected in their lives.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Shawn often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can help when anxiety or unhelpful thinking gets in the way of daily life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for skill-based work such as identifying thinking patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors. CBT is useful for panic, mood challenges, and social anxiety. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawn collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as needed. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting focus if something isn’t working well.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone is handy when bandwidth is limited, short live chats work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
