About Shane
Shane King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience. He practices in Connecticut and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting-related concerns. He aims to help clients build strength, resilience, and clearer direction.
Shane uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set small goals they can try between meetings. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and how people relate to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on tangible skills for emotional regulation and communication. Shane works with issues like anger, grief, workplace stress, and relationship strain. He also offers coaching-style support for life purpose, career decisions, and improving self-esteem.
He pays attention to attachment and fatherhood issues when these come up, and he helps people work through guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Narrative and motivational techniques can be used to reshape unhelpful stories people tell themselves and to find motivation for change. Shane provides online options including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
He asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, then helps them schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Shane works with approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can find their own solutions and build confidence in their decisions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus on skill practice, narrative work, or motivational strategies and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or daily skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting and work schedules while keeping the work focused and goal oriented.
