About Shane
Shane King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience, licensed in New York and Connecticut. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, family and parenting issues, and social anxiety and phobia. Shane practices in Connecticut and works in English.
Shane describes a practical, person-focused way of working. Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative. He uses familiar, goal-oriented tools to help people manage strong feelings and improve daily functioning. Conversations often include clear skills practice and steps people can try between sessions.
His background includes management experience alongside clinical work. That blend shapes a problem-solving style that pays attention to patterns and real-life demands. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors, and on client-centered ideas to keep the client’s perspective central.
Shane also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy techniques when they fit the situation. These approaches add specific skills for emotion regulation and ways to reframe personal stories that keep getting in the way. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people clarify what matters to them and take modest steps toward it.
People who seek Shane’s help often want straightforward tools for coping, clearer communication in relationships, or support after trauma. He describes therapy as a place to practice new responses and to build more consistent routines.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try small, practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, social fears, mood shifts, and workplace stress.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal behavior. DBT techniques are often used when intense emotions or high reactivity make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shane will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises and skills practice to work well over remote sessions so that tools learned in therapy can be used in everyday situations.
