Shawna Lupori, LPC

Shawna Lupori is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with eight years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people manage addiction and mental health challenges, and she aims to create a calm, dependable space where clients can talk about stress, grief, relationships, and life changes.

She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and comfort, using straightforward techniques that address thinking patterns, motivation, and practical problem solving. Shawna emphasizes building on strengths while working through setbacks.

Shawna has a long background in human services and has worked with a wide range of adults over many years. That background informs her approach to complex issues such as co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, communication problems, and career or parenting stress. She also supports people facing midlife transitions and the questions that often come with them.

Her style is direct but warm. She helps people set small, realistic steps and checks progress along the way. Therapy may include looking at thoughts and behaviors, strengthening motivation to change, and focusing on practical solutions the client can use between sessions.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that centers their needs. Shawna works to reduce overwhelm and help clients move toward clearer choices, whether addressing addiction, relationship strain, or a major life turning point.

How Shawna’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and topics. This helps people who need to feel heard before they tackle difficult changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits tied to addiction. Motivational Interviewing helps people sort out their mixed feelings about change and strengthens personal reasons to move forward, which can be useful for substance concerns and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques and adjust them as progress is made so sessions stay focused on meaningful change.

The original biography does not specify session formats for online care, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during workday breaks or evenings. It can also let people use audio-only check-ins when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit busy schedules and the practical details of how sessions will be run.
