Shawn KingLPC, LCMHC

Shawn King is a licensed professional counselor who brings a practical, compassionate style to therapy. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and draws on nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and parenting concerns. Shawn emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and partnering with each person to find workable steps forward.

Her approach centers on trauma-informed care that pays attention to how the body and nervous system respond to stress. She uses methods that focus on nervous system regulation alongside traditional talk work. This helps people feel more present and connected when they continue daily responsibilities like parenting or work.

Shawn combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques with mindfulness and emotionally-focused tools. Sessions are collaborative - she tailors conversations and strategies to match a person’s goals and pace. Clients are invited to try practical skills between meetings to build changes over time.

Shawn has helped people address attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication challenges, control issues, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She also supports those facing guilt, shame, panic attacks, mood shifts, and post-traumatic stress. Pregnancy and childbirth concerns are included among her focus areas.

Based in New Hampshire, Shawn works in English and aims to create a respectful space for people to explore what matters most. She describes the first step as courageous and says she will support and empower clients as they make changes.

How Shawn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Shawn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that help people notice difficult thoughts and then choose values-based actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where the goal is clearer direction rather than getting rid of every uncomfortable feeling.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test practical behavior changes. CBT is a good fit for panic, mood shifts, and managing everyday anxiety with step-by-step strategies.

Shawn pairs those approaches with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation so people can set their own pace. That collaborative tone helps shape what skills and practices are tried in sessions.

Finding the right fit happens together. Shawn will work with clients to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused techniques over time.

If you plan to meet online, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around parenting, work, or medical visits, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and grounding techniques to online conversations so progress continues between sessions.
