About Shawna
Shawna Lupori is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She meets clients where they are and focuses on building trust so people feel comfortable sharing difficult feelings and life challenges. Her style is warm and steady, and she aims to be a supportive presence as clients work toward change.
Shawna regularly helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns. She also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related questions, eating and anger concerns, and the stresses of career and life transitions.
Background and approach
Parenting is a listed focus and she helps parents think through related challenges. Her approach adapts to each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client and applies cognitive behavioral tools when practical skills are needed.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set attainable goals and build momentum. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while still honoring personal values and meaning. Shawna supports people working through co-occurring concerns such as addiction and mental health symptoms, as well as blended family dynamics or divorce-related strain.
Her work often includes building coping skills, improving communication, and finding clearer direction. People who prefer a collaborative therapist that combines practical strategies with empathic listening may find her style helpful. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Approaches that guide Shawna's online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and choices. It focuses on listening, empathy, and following what the client says matters most, which helps clarify values and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, or managing cravings.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Shawna will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. That means adjusting strategies over time and checking in about what helps and what does not.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for briefer updates or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family or work schedule while focusing on practical change and steady progress.
