About John

John Rubinov is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship and intimacy concerns. He also works with men on self-esteem, career pressure, and navigating identity issues, including LGBT concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Hebrew, and Russian, and international clients are accepted.

John keeps sessions simple and direct. He listens first, then helps people notice what matters to them. Conversations focus on practical steps and new ways of handling painful thoughts and strong emotions. He aims to help people leave sessions with something they can try the same week.

His approach blends a few complementary methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship to make change possible.

John has a history of working with concerns such as ADHD, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and substance issues. He also supports people dealing with life transitions, family of origin issues, and sexual expression questions like kink or BDSM. He draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find purpose and steady themselves during change.

How his approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings with choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when stress, anxiety, or grief make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete tools for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets pace and priorities, helping people feel heard and able to try new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual in daily life.

Confirm session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join from different locations, which is useful for international clients. Practical arrangements and scheduling are set when starting therapy, so people can choose what works best for them.
