About Shane

Shane King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 13 years of practice experience. He is based in Connecticut and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression among his work areas.

Shane uses practical talk and structured strategies in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. He also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to focus on awareness, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

In the room he checks what is already working and what needs to change. Shane often combines problem-solving with gentler exploration of past experiences that keep patterns repeating. He pays attention to how attachment and communication problems show up in everyday interactions, including parenting and workplace stress.

For people dealing with anger, he helps identify triggers and teaches straightforward skills to manage intense moments. He also supports work on guilt, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after conflict. Sessions can include setting short goals and practicing new responses between meetings.

Shane notes experience with complex trauma and cross-cultural issues alongside mood and anxiety concerns. He describes his approach as collaborative and practical, helping clients develop resilience and clearer next steps. Sessions are offered in English from his Connecticut practice.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Shane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts that fuel anger and trying different, small actions to change how situations play out. DBT emphasizes skills for tolerating strong emotions, steadying reactions, and improving communication with others.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience. Together the therapist and client review what helps, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process rather than a fixed formula.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The main practical advantage of remote work is easier fit into daily life - shorter travel time, simpler scheduling around work or parenting, and the option to check in without leaving home. Some formats reduce bandwidth needs or let people opt out of video when that helps them focus. Confirm which session types are offered before you schedule to make sure they match your needs.
