Shawna Lupori

Shawna Lupori is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can say what they are feeling and begin to make changes. Shawna frames therapy as a team effort and focuses on practical next steps more than abstract talk.

She has a long background in human services and has worked with adults across a range of life stages. Her main areas of practice include addiction and mental health concerns, along with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and eating and food-related issues. Shawna also helps people facing career shifts, parenting struggles, and the challenges of blended families.

In sessions she tailors methods to the person in front of her. Shawna commonly uses client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and existential topics about meaning and choice. She adapts her style to each person’s needs and preferences.

Her work often addresses co-occurring concerns such as substance use alongside mental health symptoms, codependency, and communication problems. Shawna helps people work through shame, guilt, anger, and isolation while building clearer goals and healthier daily patterns.

People who come to Shawna can expect direct, compassionate guidance and an emphasis on small, achievable changes. She encourages clients to use their existing strengths as a foundation for growth and to try concrete steps between sessions.

Approaches to guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It prioritizes the client's perspective and supports people in finding their own answers, which is useful for relationship worries, self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Shawna uses CBT tools to identify unhelpful patterns and try small behavior experiments that can reduce anxiety, depression, and disordered eating patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation. This approach is often used when addressing addictions, ambivalence, or stages of readiness for behavioral shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shawna will discuss options, try methods that feel right, and adjust plans based on the client's goals and feedback. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuing care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients maintain momentum between sessions.
