About Shawn
Shawn King is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire. She brings nine years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and concerns related to parenting. Shawn focuses on respectful, compassionate care that centers each person's strengths and goals.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people feel safer in their bodies and more able to connect with others.
Background and approach
Sessions often include conversations about coping skills, nervous system regulation, and ways to handle strong emotions. Shawn combines talk-based work with attention to how the body reacts to stress and trauma. Her approach is collaborative.
She tailors plans to what each person needs and wants to achieve. That might look like setting small goals, practicing grounding tools, or working through relationship patterns that cause strain. Shawn has particular experience with parenting concerns and caregiver stress, and she also helps people facing attachment issues, communication problems, grief around divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Her background supports work on mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English and are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices from a trauma-informed stance and aims to empower people to make changes that fit their life circumstances.

Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide action. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling more purposeful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change them, which is useful for panic, mood shifts, and social anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support nervous system regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, lifestyle, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what is not, so the process stays flexible and client-led.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of grounding practices, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while maintaining a consistent therapeutic rhythm.
