About Shayna
Shayna Pannuzzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression and supports those navigating neurodivergence and developmental disability or intellectual disability diagnoses. She emphasizes practical steps and gentle encouragement early in care so people can feel more steady day to day.
She approaches sessions believing each person knows their own story. That starting point guides how she builds plans together with clients. Conversations focus on realistic skills and small changes that fit into a person's life rather than abstract theories.
Her work includes attention to panic-related concerns such as panic disorder and panic attacks alongside social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, and trauma-related impacts. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues that come up with co-occurring conditions.
Shayna uses tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These are presented in clear, hands-on ways - like trying a coping skill between sessions and reviewing what helped.
People who come for help can expect straightforward guidance, practiceable strategies, and an emphasis on strengths. She encourages collaboration and gradual skill-building so changes feel manageable. Start by completing the brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Shayna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments and clear strategies to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help during intense moments and in managing strong reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. Shayna works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals, strengths, and daily routines. She will adjust the plan as needed based on what is most helpful in practice.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the environments where they live and work. Licensed professionals can help people embed coping strategies into everyday routines so progress continues between meetings.
