About Shayna
Shayna Pannuzzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on practical skills and steady support. She draws on six years of counseling experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Shayna emphasizes each person’s strengths and works with clients to build on what already helps them.
Her approach is straightforward and hands-on. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thinking and sharpen coping skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added where they fit a person’s goals and pace. Shayna has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those with developmental or intellectual disability histories. She also helps people facing caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, impulsivity, and mood challenges like bipolar disorder.
Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common focuses in her sessions. Sessions tend to center on small, achievable changes. Shayna works collaboratively to set short-term goals and track progress over time.
She aims to make sessions feel manageable while teaching strategies that can be used between appointments. Her work is grounded in listening first and then choosing tools that fit each person’s life. Shayna encourages people to try approaches, check what works, and adjust as needed so therapy is useful and relevant.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Shayna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with focus or impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy involves short attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment awareness, which can support stress management and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shayna listens to a person's goals and preferences, then suggests options and adjusts as needed. Together the therapist and client try methods, review what helps, and change course when something does not fit. The aim is to match techniques to real-life needs rather than force a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth sessions and exercises that need face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reminders, or practicing skills between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
