About Shane
Shane King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience practicing in Connecticut. He focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. Shane uses clear, practical approaches to help people regain control and move forward.
He blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Narrative Therapy to make sense of painful experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Shane places attention on relationship struggles, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and issues tied to identity and attachment. He helps people who feel stuck by breaking problems into manageable steps.
He also works with people facing trauma, grief, or trouble forgiving themselves or others. In sessions he listens first, then offers practical tools and experiments to try between meetings. He often uses motivational interviewing to clarify values and strengthen commitment to change.
Progress is tracked by small, measurable shifts rather than grand promises. Shane runs a practice that includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He speaks English and is licensed as an LCSW in New York and Connecticut.

How Shane's Approaches Work Online
Shane often uses Client-Centered Therapy to give people a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through worries and relationships. This approach emphasizes listening and helping people set their own goals.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT works well for practical issues like workplace stress or social anxiety because it breaks problems into clear steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress is made. He collaborates on a plan that combines skills, experiments, and personal meaning so the work fits daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use body language and face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be a quick option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
