About Shayna
Shayna Pannuzzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and bipolar mood issues. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical skills people can use right away.
Shayna has a background supporting people who are neurodivergent and those with developmental or intellectual disability histories. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, co-occurring conditions, and dissociation. Her work often includes managing impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, social anxiety, isolation, and effects of traumatic brain injury.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment awareness, and Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what a person wants to change and why. Sessions are focused on concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
In a typical session Shayna helps clients break down problems into small, manageable pieces. She practices short skill-building exercises, behavior experiments, and straightforward feedback. The tone is direct and practical, aimed at reducing reactivity and increasing control over everyday situations.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her clinical approaches translate to online sessions
Shayna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that often reduce anger and anxiety symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention to present-moment experience and reduce automatic reactivity. These approaches aim to give people concrete tools they can practice between sessions. Shayna works collaboratively to find which combination of methods fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the original biography does not specify formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow sessions that focus on short skills practice or longer discussion as needed. Talk with her after completing the initial matching questionnaire to clarify session length and the practical setup that will work best for everyday life.
