Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions
Shane King, LCSW, integrates practical, evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building new ways to respond, often using structured exercises that support concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when feelings are intense or relationships feel hard to navigate. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what matters most to them and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs, whether the focus is coping with daily stressors, healing from trauma-related experiences, or strengthening relationships.
Online therapy offers flexibility without losing the human connection. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and access help from a familiar environment.
