About Shane

Shane King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and Connecticut with 13 years of experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and parenting concerns.

Shane focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and narrative approaches to help clients name problems and change unhelpful patterns. He pays attention to how work, family, and culture shape feelings and choices.

Sessions often involve identifying distressing thoughts, trying new ways of responding, and practicing real-life skills between meetings. He also addresses attachment and communication problems, fatherhood issues, and workplace stress. The aim is to reduce overwhelming emotions and make day-to-day life run smoother.

Shane brings experience from management roles into his work with clients. He mixes practical coaching with therapeutic methods when people want help with career direction, life purpose, or coping with big changes. He frames progress as concrete steps rather than vague promises.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation and goal-focused sessions. Shane speaks English and works from Connecticut. He does not accept international clients, and fees vary by location and plan.

BHow sessions work

How Shane uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs space to clarify values and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives simple tools to test and change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative decision can change over time as different tools are tested and adjusted.

Confirm the current session formats before booking to know which options are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for phone-only check-ins when bandwidth or quick scheduling is a concern. Ask about exact session formats during the matching process so practical arrangements match work, family, and daily life.
