Shawn King, LPC, LCMHC - Therapist in New Hampshire

About Shawn

Shawn King is a licensed counselor who centers her work on practical, trauma-aware methods. She combines acceptance-based and mindfulness tools with clear, skills-based strategies. Shawn aims to help parents and individuals reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address trauma-related symptoms in daily life.

She uses short, focused conversations and hands-on exercises rather than long lectures. Sessions often include breathing and grounding exercises to calm the nervous system. Shawn frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts the plan to each person's goals.

Background and approach

Her training includes work with emotion-focused and cognitive approaches. That mix supports helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, shift patterns, and rebuild safer emotional connections. She also draws on somatic-informed ideas to help with bodily reactions tied to stress and trauma.

Shawn has nine years of clinical experience and holds LPC and LCMHC licenses. She practices in New Hampshire and tailors her style to meet parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, anger, and other stress-related problems. Sessions aim to feel practical and doable for busy lives.

People can expect straightforward steps to try between sessions. Shawn encourages small, steady changes so new habits can stick. The focus is on relief now and skills that support longer-term recovery and connection.

Evidence-based approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce panic, manage mood, and shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses to improve relationships and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls let people practice skills together and still see facial cues. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for quick check-ins, homework support, and moments when scheduling or travel are difficult. These options help keep momentum between visits and make ongoing support more accessible.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
