About Stephanie

Stephanie Borgono is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 19 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, coping with life changes, and concerns related to ADHD.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic stance to help clients identify patterns, reduce symptoms, and strengthen day-to-day functioning. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to offer structured skills training alongside present-moment awareness and goal-oriented problem solving.

Stephanie emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and tailored strategies so each person leaves sessions with concrete tools they can apply between meetings. She also attends to related issues such as communication difficulties, impulsivity, body image, family problems, and other personality and neurodevelopmental concerns.

Clients can expect a professional yet approachable environment where assessment and practical interventions are balanced with compassion. Stephanie aims to help people build resilience, improve coping, and make meaningful, sustainable changes in how they manage emotions and life transitions.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice new skills that reduce worry and depressive symptoms. This approach focuses on changing thoughts and actions that maintain distress and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and many everyday challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to cultivate present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult emotions. Through brief mindfulness practices and grounding strategies clients can learn to respond to stress with more calm and clarity rather than reacting impulsively.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Stephanie treats selection as a collaborative effort. She works with each person to clarify their goals and preferences, then adapts CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused techniques to best fit the client's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and choose a communication style that feels most helpful while working toward practical, achievable goals.
