About Shane
Shane King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience based in Connecticut. He works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. Shane focuses on helping people manage emotion regulation and navigate difficult life changes.
He uses practical, evidence-based strategies in sessions. Shane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to address unhelpful thinking patterns and to teach coping skills. He also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to help people make sense of their stories and values.
Shane’s background includes private practice and years of management experience. That experience informs a straightforward, goal-oriented style in sessions. He pays attention to how culture and identity shape emotion and relationships, including the effects of internalized racial oppression and cross-cultural bonding.
In a typical session he helps people identify patterns that lead to anger or shame, practice new ways of reacting, and set small, doable goals between meetings. He can support work on fatherhood issues, communication problems, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-esteem.

How his approaches translate to remote work
Shane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short homework tasks to test new ways of thinking between meetings.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These are concrete strategies people can practice when frustration or strong feelings start to build.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what is helping and adjusting methods over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family routines, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Shane frames remote work around practical needs and day-to-day schedules rather than making broad promises about outcomes.
