About Shawna
Shawna Lupori is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with eight years of experience. She works with people facing addiction and mental health concerns as well as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family problems. Shawna also notes a focus on blended family issues and challenges like co-dependency, communication breakdowns, and life transitions.
She favors clear, direct conversations about what’s happening now and what the person wants to change. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. Shawna draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking and solution-focused techniques to find immediate changes that help day to day.
Her background includes long experience in human services and work with adults who face both mental health and addiction concerns. That history informs how she frames relapse, recovery, and the emotional patterns that come up around loss, grief, or major life shifts. Shawna lists counseling for intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, anger, and career questions among her regular areas of work.
She uses client-centered methods to keep the work person-focused and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Existential ideas also appear in her practice, helping people look at meaning, values, and the tensions that underlie difficult choices. The mix aims to be practical rather than theoretical.
If you are in a blended household and trying to manage loyalties, routines, or co-parenting friction, she notes blended family issues as a particular focus. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session arrangements and procedures before booking.
How Shawna uses approaches in online work
Shawna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and coping. This can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors by giving manageable practices to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, achievable changes and goals. It helps when you want to move past a stuck point and create clear next steps in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Shawna works together with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than insisting on one fixed method.
