About Shayna
Shayna Pannuzzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She draws on six years of work helping people reduce stress, manage anxiety and depression, and address anger and relationship concerns. Shayna emphasizes practical steps and steady support during change.
She has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those with developmental or intellectual disability diagnoses. Shayna helps clients break problems into smaller parts and build skills that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She often focuses on clear communication and impulse management when those areas cause strain. Shayna uses approaches that teach concrete tools for thinking and feeling differently. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices.
Those methods are used to lower emotional intensity, improve decision making, and build routines that reduce stress. Motivational interviewing is part of her style when people feel stuck or unsure about change. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them and set small goals that lead to steady progress.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. She works in English and sees clients from New Jersey. Shayna values straightforward conversation and practical plans that fit day-to-day life.
She aims to make the therapy process understandable and useful from the first visit.

Therapeutic tools you can use online
Shayna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and then try different actions to reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and some patterns of anger and avoidance.She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. DBT-style skills can help when impulsivity or strong reactions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shayna collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and tools based on progress and feedback so the plan stays practical and achievable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is often used for deeper skills practice and conversation, phone can be a good option for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
