Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie Borgono draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to support clients in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for those coping with persistent worry or mood challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented method that emphasizes practical steps and strengths to navigate life transitions and solve immediate problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try approaches, refine strategies, and choose what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity during life changes while still focusing on meaningful progress.
