Tonine Garberino, LMHC, LPC

Tonine Garberino is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and brings 17 years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life. The work often includes learning new ways to respond to triggers, building coping skills, and testing small changes between meetings.

Tonine emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients clarify goals and picks strategies that match what each person needs. For someone dealing with addiction-related struggles, that can mean breaking problems into manageable pieces and tracking progress week to week.

Her background includes supporting people through trauma, changes at work, relationship strain, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also addresses issues like body image, eating concerns, ADHD, and challenges linked to adoption or blended families.

Clients can expect direct, plainspoken guidance and a focus on tools that produce visible shifts. The therapist pairs practical exercises with conversations that explore values and priorities. This combination aims to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier day-to-day functioning.

CBT and practical strategies for online care

Tonine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, trying out new behaviors between meetings, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety or cravings. This approach is commonly used for stress, mood concerns, and addiction-related struggles.

Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily routines. Together they check what helps and adjust plans if something isn’t working.

Many people find online therapy helps fit care into a busy life because it can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. Online sessions may allow shorter check-ins when needed and can make it simpler to attend from different locations. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they match your needs.
