About Tonine

Tonine Garberino is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work. She holds credentials as an LMHC and as an LPC and practices in Florida. Tonine focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better and move forward in their lives.

She helps people facing stress and anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and challenges with addictions. Career concerns and relationship or intimacy-related issues are part of her focus, along with self-esteem, eating difficulties, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse and the many life changes that follow.

Tonine uses an open, nonjudgmental style in sessions. She encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings and works with each person to set realistic goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, is one approach she uses to help people try new patterns.

Her additional interests include adoption and foster care matters, blended family and fatherhood questions, and challenges around communication, codependency, and commitment. She also addresses personality and behavioral concerns such as avoidant or dependent tendencies and issues linked to dissociation or disruptive mood patterns.

People who reach out can expect collaborative planning and practical strategies tailored to everyday life. Tonine aims to support and empower each person to take steps toward a more comfortable and satisfying daily routine.

How CBT-guided care works online

This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps - identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress - which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties like addiction.

Tonine aims to work together with each person to find the best fit. She will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that match your needs. Finding the right method is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can use focused, structured CBT exercises in remote sessions to help clients practice skills between meetings and track progress over weeks.
