About Shawn
Shawn King is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 9 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Shawn’s approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people handle emotions that interfere with daily life.
She uses methods that help the body and mind work together. That includes trauma-informed practices and techniques that support nervous system regulation. Shawn combines these with evidence-informed talk therapies so people learn both strategies and skills they can use outside sessions.
Sessions focus on clear goals. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make choices aligned with their values. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening are used to slow things down and build awareness.
Shawn also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment feel central to a problem. She helps people talk through communication issues, control struggles, guilt, and shame so those patterns cause less disruption.
Her work often addresses parenting concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions like separation or changes after childbirth. People can expect a mix of hands-on skills, behavioral experiments, and reflective conversation aimed at manageable progress.
To begin, clients complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first session. Shawn is based in New Hampshire and works in English.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pushed around by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anger or anxiety leads to reactive behavior that conflicts with what someone actually wants for their relationships and life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. That approach works well for stress, panic symptoms, mood shifts, and patterns that keep anger or avoidance in place.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and build steady focus. These practices can help when frustration builds quickly and people want tools to calm down before they speak or act.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. The plan can change as progress is made and new issues arise.
