About Shane
Shane King is a licensed clinical social worker with thirteen years of practice. He works from Connecticut and brings experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Shane focuses on practical steps to help clients feel steadier day to day.
He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work to help people spot unhelpful thinking. He also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to understand personal stories and strengths. Sessions are conversational and aimed at clear, manageable change rather than jargon or long theory talks.
Background and approach
Shane often helps people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, workplace pressure, and life transitions. He pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that shape how people connect with others. He also supports those facing anger, guilt, or struggles with self-worth and purpose.
In sessions he mixes problem-solving with skill building. That may include behavioral experiments, emotion regulation tools, and rewriting difficult personal narratives. He meets people where they are and works at a pace they can handle.
Shane frames therapy as a collaborative process. He aims to help clients build resilience and clearer direction. Practical goals, doable steps, and regular check-ins guide the work together.
Approaches that fit real life and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will work with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a time, then shifting to narrative work to reframe a life story. Decisions are revisited as progress and needs change.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit busy lives. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or sitting on camera is difficult. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or scheduling flexibility. These options help people keep momentum and use therapy in ways that suit their routine.
