About Shawn
Shawn King is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with nine years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on social anxiety and phobia among other related areas.
Shawn uses straightforward, trauma-informed care that pays attention to how the body and nervous system react to stress. Sessions include ways to notice physical sensations and gentle practices that aim to reduce overwhelming reactions. She combines talk-based work with exercises that help regulate the nervous system so people can reconnect with daily life more easily.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas. Mindfulness practices are often part of sessions to help someone notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences.
Shawn has experience helping adolescents and adults with panic symptoms, mood concerns, post-traumatic stress, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and pregnancy or childbirth concerns. She offers practical strategies for anger, guilt, shame, and building more self-compassion.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Shawn often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and values, then take small steps toward what matters. ACT uses simple exercises to clarify what someone cares about and to accept uncomfortable feelings while still acting in line with those values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common approach she uses. CBT breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers clear, practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, mood shifts, and social anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will review options with each client and choose methods based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is a collaborative step, and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to practice skills in the kinds of settings where social anxiety or everyday stress shows up. Licensed professionals can often adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work well in virtual formats, and Shawn will discuss which methods suit a client’s routine and circumstances.
