About Stephanie
Stephanie Borgono is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and ADHD. She approaches sessions with warmth and practicality. Conversations focus on clear goals and small, usable steps that fit daily life.
She uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and improve mood. That may include changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing simple mindfulness, and trying short experiments between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on improving communication, lowering impulsivity, and building steady routines. Borgono combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that match each person's needs. She spends early sessions understanding what feels most urgent and then maps a short plan with measurable steps.
Progress is tracked and adjusted if goals change. Clients can expect a calm, goal-oriented style that still leaves room to process difficult feelings. Homework is practical and brief so it can be tried amid busy schedules.
She frames setbacks as information rather than failure and guides people toward small, repeatable wins. Based in New Jersey, Borgono offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking help for mood, focus, and life transitions. Her background in social work informs a problem-solving approach that respects each person's context and responsibilities.
Approaches that fit into your life online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It often involves short exercises to test new ways of thinking and small homework steps to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and ease stress. These practices can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and mood shifts by creating space to choose a response.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust plans together with the client. That collaborative process helps match techniques to personal needs and daily routines instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and skill practice, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family demands while keeping the focus on steady, achievable progress.
