Shawna Lupori

Shawna Lupori is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She opens sessions by helping people feel safe enough to share what matters to them. Shawna aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental presence while clients work toward practical change and clearer next steps.

She brings eight years of formal counseling experience and many more years in human services. Shawna has focused work with people facing addiction and mental health concerns alongside a broad set of everyday struggles. These include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, eating and substance concerns, and anger.

Her approach is tailored to each person. Shawna commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. She also draws on existential ideas to look at life meaning and motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and habits.

In sessions she listens for immediate priorities and helps set small, achievable goals. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with attention to values and what a person wants their life to look like. She works alongside people as they try new steps, problem-solve, and adjust plans.

Shawna works in Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English. People considering therapy should confirm current session options before booking, and can start by completing the service’s matching questionnaire to schedule an appointment.

How Shawna’s Approaches Work Online and in Counseling

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide their own next steps when life feels confusing or stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, especially around substance use or habits, by exploring ambivalence and building motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawna partners with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and values. She adjusts plans over time so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Session logistics are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online counseling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care and make regular progress without changing the way they work on goals and coping skills.
