"need" means, want. -ing is not added to verbs like need and want because those kinds of verbs are not actions; they are states of being. They are called stative verbs.
I need you to help me.
I want you to help me.
I needed you to help me.
I wanted you to help me.
I am in need of your help.
I am in want of a better word.
I was in need of you help.
I was in want of a better word.
