Stephanie Borgono

Stephanie Borgono is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of practice in New Jersey. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on helping clients manage daily problems and feel more in control.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and ease overwhelming feelings. Solution-focused work helps set clear, achievable goals and track progress session to session.

Sessions center on practical skills and small experiments clients can use between meetings. Stephanie helps clients develop coping strategies, improve communication, and change patterns that keep them stuck. She keeps the work collaborative, asking what helps and what doesn’t, then adjusting the plan.

Her background in social work informs a broad view of life stressors, including relationship problems, family issues, and transitions like separation or big role changes. She also addresses concerns related to body image and codependency when they affect daily life.

Stephanie offers care in English and practices in New Jersey as an LCSW. People who are considering therapy are invited to start with a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see if her approach feels like the right fit.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or lift mood. It often uses short exercises and clear steps to practice between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage difficult emotions. These practices can be introduced in sessions and used at home to steady strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and daily life, then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust methods based on what feels useful and realistic for the client’s situation.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that scheduling therapy around work and family life is easier with remote sessions, and that short, focused check-ins help maintain momentum between longer appointments. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in real situations and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
