About Tonine
Tonine Garberino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience in Florida and New Jersey. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, mood concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are described simply and directly to help people make manageable changes.
Garberino uses an active, problem-focused approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She encourages practical steps and small experiments to test new ways of responding. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be tried between sessions.
Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, eating and body image concerns, and self-esteem issues. She also supports people facing bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and other mood or attention challenges. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and communication or commitment problems.
In session she aims to clarify goals, teach concrete skills, and track progress. Homework or short exercises are commonly used to build new habits. The emphasis is on short-term strategies that produce practical shifts in mood and behavior.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-based work may find this approach useful. Garberino combines direct feedback with step-by-step techniques so clients can try alternatives and see what helps them in daily life.
Using CBT and practical skills in online sessions
Tonine Garberino bases much of her work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, stress, and habit-based problems like some addictions.She also emphasizes skill-building and short experiments between appointments. That means learning simple tools in session and trying them in daily life. Together the therapist and client check what helps and adjust the plan over time, keeping the process collaborative.
