Tonine Garberino

Tonine Garberino is a licensed counselor who uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and draws on 17 years of professional experience to guide clients toward more stable routines and healthier coping skills.

She focuses on common concerns like depression, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and problems tied to relationships and intimacy. She also works with people facing addictions and those navigating adoption and foster care topics. Her approach is straightforward and activity-focused, so sessions often include concrete strategies to try between meetings.

In sessions she aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on practical steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She values small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that prioritizes skill-building. Tonine helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and then practices new responses together. Progress is measured by real-world changes, such as improved sleep, clearer communication, or better control over urges.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work across settings in Florida and New Jersey. Tonine uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions toward problem-solving and habit change while tailoring plans to each person’s goals.
