About Stephanie

Stephanie Borgono is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical coping skills and clearer communication so daily life feels more manageable. Many people come to her for help with panic attacks, overwhelming worry, or major life changes.

She uses straightforward methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions typically involve identifying thought and behavior patterns, practicing brief mindfulness exercises, and setting small, achievable goals. Stephanie explains techniques in plain language and works step by step so clients can try tools between appointments.

Her work emphasizes collaboration. Stephanie listens to what matters most to each person and adapts the plan to fit their priorities. She supports people through relationship shifts, parenting stress, career transitions, and challenges tied to attention differences such as ADHD.

Over nearly two decades she has helped people address a wide range of related concerns, including body image, communication problems, codependency, and impulsivity. She draws on practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Her sessions aim to build stronger coping habits rather than offer quick fixes.

Stephanie practices in New Jersey as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English. Prospective clients who want to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep anxiety and panic going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework so people can test new ways of thinking between sessions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people notice sensations without immediately reacting. Mindfulness can support anxiety management and improve emotional tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then shape a plan that blends methods as needed. That process is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific remote formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter or longer check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Ask about available session options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
