Shayna Pannuzzo

Shayna Pannuzzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She centers the work on each person’s strengths and helps them move past problems that feel stuck or overwhelming.

She often supports people who are neurodivergent or who carry developmental disability or intellectual disability diagnoses. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and isolation. Sessions focus on practical steps the client can try between meetings.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That combination is used to teach skills for emotion regulation, reduce unhelpful thoughts, and build routines that fit daily life. Techniques are described in plain language and practiced together in session.

Shayna explains therapy in clear terms and treats clients as partners in the process. She emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes. Her style aims to make coping skills usable during a busy week.

Shayna practices in New Jersey and meets with people in English. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and panic symptoms to build clearer thinking and steadier routines.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anger, impulsivity, or strong mood swings interfere with daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist partners with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions include trying new skills, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting plans based on what fits a client's day-to-day life.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help people fit sessions into their routine. It can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around school or work. Licensed professionals use these formats to bring CBT, DBT, and mindfulness work into everyday situations and to practice skills between meetings.
