John Rubinov

John Rubinov is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, career questions, and identity concerns. He focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and take small, meaningful actions toward change. With nine years of experience, John uses clear, straightforward methods rather than jargon. He encourages clients to name what matters to them and to try small experiments that build confidence. His approach often combines acceptance, mindful attention, and goal-focused techniques tailored to each person. John works with topics such as self-esteem, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, substance use, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, existential questions about meaning, and mindfulness practice. In session he balances reflective listening with practical tools so people can track progress between meetings. He helps clients who are exploring life purpose, facing guilt and shame, or recovering from abandonment. John offers services in English, Hebrew, and Russian and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and then take actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, career uncertainty, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, seeing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method from the start.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from a convenient location. It can also let someone choose shorter check-ins when days are tight or use audio instead of video if that feels easier. These practical benefits help people keep consistent momentum while working on stress, career decisions, recovery from addiction, or life transitions.
