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 helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and life changes. Tonine also addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, and eating.
She focuses on practical, talk-based work. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common part of her approach. That means clients learn skills to change unhelpful patterns and test new ways of coping in everyday life.
Tonine has helped people facing family-related pressures and parenting strains. She also works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. Other areas she addresses include autism spectrum related challenges, dissociation, and personality-related struggles when they affect day-to-day functioning.
Her practice includes support for intimacy-related concerns, communication and commitment issues, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She can help people dealing with ADHD, substance-related problems, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce. Sessions aim to be straightforward and problem-focused so people can try small changes between meetings.
Tonine practices in Florida and works in English. She uses her years of clinical experience to help adults clarify goals, learn coping skills, and make manageable changes. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How sessions work
How CBT-based work translates to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, so sessions often include exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients use between meetings to gauge change.When anxiety or mood problems are the main concern, CBT targets the day-to-day thoughts and routines that maintain distress. For relationship or family-related stress, the approach looks at communication patterns and small behavior changes that can shift interactions over time.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they pick strategies and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and goal-focused.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible. It also lets people try skills in their everyday environment and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
