About Shawn
Shawn King is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, skills-based approaches. She brings nine years of clinical experience and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and parenting concerns. Shawn aims to create a respectful, empathetic space where people can start to feel safer with their emotions and relationships.
She believes people already hold the capacity to heal and that therapy is a guided process to access that capacity.
Background and approach
Sessions include calm, clear conversation about what feels hard now and steps to feel steadier. Shawn uses techniques that address how the body and nervous system respond to stress as well as what a person thinks and does.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and close connections, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed steps, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening are woven into sessions to support regulation and presence. Shawn has helped people manage panic, mood shifts, grief, and the fallout of past hurt.
She also supports those facing caregiver strain, parenting challenges, and issues around guilt or shame. Therapy plans are adapted to each person’s story and goals. Shawn is licensed as an LPC in South Carolina and as an LCMHC in New Hampshire.
She offers sessions in English and works with people located in New Hampshire.

Online support
Emotion and Skills Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment. It helps people understand their emotional responses and how those responses affect relationships and connection. This approach can be useful when strong feelings get in the way of closeness or make daily life harder.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It uses acceptance and mindful action to reduce avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical ways to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Text and chat offer ongoing support between sessions or short check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
