About Shayna

Shayna Pannuzzo practices with a therapy style grounded in evidence-based skills and a strengths-focused perspective.

Background and approach

As an LPC with six years of clinical experience in New Jersey, she draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related mood concerns. She emphasizes collaboration and believes each person already holds resources that can be shaped into practical strategies for daily life.

Her work also includes supporting people experiencing attention-related challenges such as ADHD alongside a range of co-occurring concerns, including bipolar mood differences, compulsive symptoms, trauma-related effects such as dissociation, and caregiver stress. She has experience with neurodiversity and developmental disability contexts and attends to issues that affect communication, impulsivity, and social isolation.

Shayna aims to help clients translate insight into routines and skills that reduce overwhelm and increase functioning. Clients will find a clinician who frames therapy as a partnership, offering structured techniques and mindful practices while honoring each person’s story and goals.

She provides services in English and sees clients in New Jersey under license number NJ LPC 37PC00917400.

Evidence-based approaches tailored for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It provides structured tools to manage stressors and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people navigate intense emotions and improve relationships. Both approaches offer concrete exercises that translate well to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing as appropriate. This flexible, client-centered work helps tailor a plan that fits the individual's life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, allow repeated practice of skills in real-life contexts, and support consistent momentum toward goals while accommodating different comfort levels with communication.
