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 clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses attachment struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and mood concerns.
Shawn uses practical, body-aware techniques alongside conversation. She draws on trauma-informed, somatosensory, and Polyvagal-informed ideas to help reduce high arousal and improve day-to-day connection. That often means learning small grounding exercises and simple ways to notice how the body responds to stress.
Sessions combine clear talk with concrete skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy show up when clients need tools for difficult thoughts and emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy guide conversations about relationships and personal values.
She supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, grief around divorce or separation, pregnancy and childbirth stress, and caregiver burnout. Work can include short-term strategies for a current problem or longer-term plans to rebuild routine and coping skills.
Shawn asks clients to be part of the planning. Goals are practical and measurable, such as reducing panic frequency or improving communication in stressful moments. People leave sessions with specific practices they can try between meetings.
Sessions are conducted in English from New Hampshire. Before booking, confirm current session formats and subscription details so you know how scheduling and fees will work.
How sessions work
How Shawn’s approaches fit with online work
Shawn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building small habits that reflect those values, which can reduce conflict at home and improve parenting decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. That can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and daily stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawn collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so sessions are a shared process of testing and refining strategies.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into busy schedules, make it easier to follow through between meetings, and let short check-ins happen without long travel. If video feels like too much, alternatives can focus on brief verbal check-ins or exercises that don't require being on camera. The emphasis is on practical ways to make therapy work around daily life rather than on a particular delivery method.
