01About Tonine
Tonine Garberino is a licensed mental health counselor who draws on 17 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addiction-related struggles. She practices in Florida and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. Sessions focus on practical steps that people can use between meetings to feel better and stay on track.
She begins by listening closely to each person's situation and priorities. That helps her shape a plan that fits daily life.
Background and approach
People can expect clear conversations about patterns of thinking and behavior, and simple tools to try at home. Tonine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a guiding framework to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. She pairs this with real-world skill-building for coping, communication, and managing emotions.
The work is directional but flexible to each person’s pace. Her experience spans concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, body image and eating issues, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and career or family stress. Tonine also guides people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, blended family concerns, and issues like codependency or communication breakdowns.
Therapy sessions are conversational and action-oriented. Tonine emphasizes collaboration and practical homework rather than long lectures. Her goal is to help people build tools they can use outside sessions to handle life’s challenges more confidently.

04Online support
How CBT and online sessions work together
Tonine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change how those thoughts affect feelings and actions. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches techniques like thought records and behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns of behavior.The choice of approach is a joint decision. Tonine listens to each person's needs, goals, and daily routine to recommend the best methods. She adjusts strategies as progress is made, so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coping reminders, or homework support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
