Practical Therapy Approaches, Delivered Online

Shane King, LCSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients work through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and relationship challenges in a structured, supportive way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, test out new perspectives, and practice skills that can make day-to-day situations feel more manageable. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when feelings feel intense or hard to control. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering space to explore what matters most while building self-understanding and confidence in personal choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane partners with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the focus over time so sessions fit the person, not the other way around.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions may happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that can fit different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles.
