Shawna Lupori , LPC

Shawna Lupori is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental presence as people talk through hard moments like addiction, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. Shawna focuses on helping clients move forward and build on their strengths in practical ways.

She brings a long background in human services and concentrates on addiction and mental health concerns. That experience informs her work with depression, stress, relationship and family concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and coping with career shifts and midlife transitions. She also addresses blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, and other related struggles.

Her sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Shawna uses clear, goal-oriented methods so clients can notice change and try new ways of coping. She supports people through grief, anger, isolation, and the complicated feelings that come with separation or loss.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical tools. She often helps people sort through guilt, shame, control issues, and feelings of emptiness while focusing on everyday steps that improve functioning. Shawna emphasizes motivation and small behavioral changes alongside meaning-centered work when appropriate.

Shawna offers work suited to adults facing life stressors, addiction challenges, parenting strain, and career concerns. Her practice emphasizes listening first, then building a plan together that reflects each person’s goals and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to find solutions that match their values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and improve coping with anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative way to build readiness for change. It is often used with substance use concerns and other situations where someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shawna will help clients choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her plan as progress is made. Therapy is a collaboration where pacing and focus are decided jointly.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, home life, or busy schedules.
