About Tonine
Tonine Garberino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood disorders, and challenges like ADHD and self-esteem issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Garberino uses practical, talk-based work to address daily struggles. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
She regularly supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency patterns, and the fallout from trauma or abuse. She also addresses eating concerns, bipolar and mood-related issues, and work or career stress. When addiction is a concern, she focuses on how behaviors and thoughts interact and what can be changed in everyday routines.
Her background spans community and clinical settings over nearly two decades. That experience informs a straightforward style that aims to make sessions practical and focused. Paperwork, goals, and skills are discussed in concrete terms, with steps that can be practiced between meetings.
People who are thinking about therapy will find clear direction on next steps. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options.
How sessions work
How CBT and online sessions can work together
CBT is a structured, skills-focused approach. It helps people spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or keep them locked in unhelpful behaviors. Sessions involve identifying thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors between meetings to make change more likely.When grief, relationship strain, or codependency patterns show up, CBT techniques can be combined with straightforward conversations about boundaries and routines. That combination aims to make small, manageable changes that affect daily life and relationships. Tonine will work with each person to figure out which tools fit their goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.
Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into a busy schedule and cut down on travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to attend short check-ins, keep consistent weekly meetings, or use worksheets and home practice between appointments. The therapist will discuss what will work best based on the client's needs and routines.
