About Tonine

Tonine Garberino is a licensed mental health counselor who centers her practice on practical, evidence-informed strategies to manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience and credentials as an LMHC and an LPC, she blends a structured therapeutic framework with an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance to help clients navigate life transitions and relationship challenges. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for coping, problem solving, and emotional regulation.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, eating and intimacy-related issues, and trauma-related difficulties, along with career and family stressors. Tonine also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, autism spectrum concerns, personality-related patterns, and challenges around communication, commitment, and codependency.

Practicing in Florida and licensed in New Jersey as well, she offers flexible session formats and supports clients who are ready to take steps toward clearer goals and improved coping. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and steady support during periods of change and healing.

Using CBT-Based Strategies in Online Care

Tonine integrates cognitive behavioral techniques into online therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new perspectives, and practice skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support behavior change. CBT sessions often include goal setting, behavioral experiments, and skill-building exercises tailored to the issues a person brings, such as stress, addictive behaviors, or challenges with attention and mood.

When working together, the therapist emphasizes a collaborative process to determine which therapeutic strategies will fit best for a person's needs and preferences. That means discussing goals, trying approaches, and adjusting methods over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to what the client wants to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible around work and family life. These formats allow clients to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they make it easier to continue care through life changes while using structured, skill-focused interventions.
