About Tonine
Tonine Garberino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Florida and has worked with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and related life challenges.
She focuses on helping people talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are aimed at making it easier to name what is going on and to try practical ways of coping. Tonine encourages straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving during appointments.
Her work often addresses intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, eating concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, and the strain of major life changes.

Tonine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to help people examine unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She helps clients break problems into smaller steps and practice skills between sessions. This approach is used for anxiety, stress, compulsive patterns, and everyday coping strategies.
She works in English and practices under the Florida LMHC and New Jersey LPC credentials. To begin, people are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provider's online pathway.
How CBT translates to online sessions
Tonine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in many sessions. CBT focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and then testing small changes to see if they help. This method is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and compulsive behaviors because it gives clear steps to practice between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tonine aims to collaborate with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. She will help prioritize what to try first and adjust methods based on what the client finds useful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the original biography does not list session types. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled and arranged to match practical needs and availability.
