About Shayna
Shayna Pannuzzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and mood changes. Shayna encourages clients to build on their own strengths and to take small, steady steps toward change.
She speaks plainly and focuses on clear, doable tools people can use between sessions. Shayna draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills and shift unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people stay present during difficult moments. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps create a plan that fits each person’s life. With six years of experience, Shayna blends structured techniques and coaching-style support.
She works with concerns such as relationship stress, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, attention challenges, and obsessive or panic symptoms. Her background includes work with people who have developmental and intellectual differences, and she brings practical strategies that match a range of needs. Shayna offers multiple formats for remote care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She explains how sessions will work and helps clients choose the format that feels most comfortable. The goal is to make help accessible and straightforward for busy lives.
Online therapy using practical, skills-based approaches
Shayna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on breaking problems into smaller parts and practicing new thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings and reacting in steadier ways during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shayna collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens first, then adapts techniques so they are useful and realistic for a client’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments. Remote sessions let clients practice skills in their everyday environment while staying connected to a licensed professional who provides guidance and feedback.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
