About Stephanie
Stephanie Borgono is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She practices in New Jersey and works with adults who need practical ways to cope with life changes and emotional strain. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on small steps that add up to real change.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors.
How Stephanie works
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to be present and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify immediate goals and build on what already works. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
She often breaks issues down into manageable tasks and experiments clients can practice between meetings. Communication skills and clearer boundaries are frequent topics in her work. Her approach is adapted to each person’s needs instead of one-size-fits-all plans.
Stephanie explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is or isn’t working. Progress is tracked in concrete terms so people can see improvement over time. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and are handled through a cancelable subscription. To begin, clients choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify patterns of thought that increase stress and anxiety and then practice small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness. It can help with rumination, stress management, and impulse control.
Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and forward-looking. It narrows in on immediate goals and strengths so clients can try small, measurable changes and build momentum quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend one or a mix of these methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
