About Stephanie

Stephanie Borgono is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She works with people facing big life changes, including pregnancy and childbirth, and aims to make the first steps toward support feel manageable and direct.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and small changes that add up. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Stephanie draws on solution-focused methods to keep work action-oriented. That means identifying what matters most to the client and building on what already works. She also emphasizes communication skills and coping tools for daily stressors and transitions.

In the room she keeps language simple and concrete. People can expect step-by-step strategies, short skills practice, and a pace set together. The approach is meant to fit into busy lives and shifting routines.

Based in New Jersey, she has experience with multicultural clients and with young adults navigating relationship and life-stage transitions. Stephanie aims to help people develop stronger self-compassion, clearer boundaries, and habits that support wellbeing over time.

How Stephanie’s approaches work for online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and worry by breaking problems into workable steps.

Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and develop steady attention. It can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation during life transitions.

Solution-focused therapy keeps sessions oriented toward goals and what is already working. It supports quick, pragmatic changes by building on small successes and client strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change.

The practical advantages of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, shortening commute time, and making it easier to attend during pregnancy or early parenthood. The original profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals can tailor the session structure to help clients practice skills between meetings and adapt therapy to everyday life.
