Shawna Lupori, LPC

Shawna Lupori is a licensed professional counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She practices from Pennsylvania and focuses on helping people move forward from addiction, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Shawna aims to create a calm, honest space where people can talk about hard things and build practical steps for change.

She centers sessions on what the person needs right now. Shawna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and existential ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and find meaning when life feels confusing. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of her toolbox when people want to change habits or set short-term goals.

Shawna has worked in human services for many years and brings experience with addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anger, career challenges, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps with blended family issues, codependency, and forgiveness work.

In sessions she listens without judgment and helps clients set realistic steps toward their goals. Expect clear, practical strategies alongside space to reflect on values and purpose. The work often mixes skill-building with conversations about what matters most.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through several online formats. Shawna works to tailor the approach to each person’s needs and meets people where they are ready to begin.

How Shawna’s Approaches Work Online

Shawna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that fit well with online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead while offering empathy and support. Existential Therapy appears when questions of meaning, purpose, or life direction are central; this helps people clarify values and make purposeful choices.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Shawna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and realistic for the client’s life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick, asynchronous ways to process thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
