About John

John Rubinov is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, identity questions, and the long-term effects of family relationships. Sessions are offered in English, Hebrew, and Russian, and he accepts international clients.

Rubinov uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods so conversations lead to clearer choices. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take value-driven steps. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

People bring a range of concerns, including family of origin issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Rubinov pays attention to how childhood roles and family expectations still affect day-to-day life. He helps people map those patterns and practice different ways of relating and decision-making.

Work in sessions is practical and conversational. Clients can expect exploration of current problems, skills practice, and planning small, doable steps between meetings. Rubinov encourages checking what works and adjusting approaches over time.

He blends client-centered listening with structured tools from CBT and ACT. That mix is intended to help people reduce unhelpful behaviors and increase actions that align with their values. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that reflect those values. It is often used for anxiety, life transitions, and when family expectations feel limiting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through homework and practice. It is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional tolerance. These skills support coping with grief, anger, and ongoing stress.

Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as needed. Sessions can include conversation, practical exercises, and short practice tasks between meetings so progress is measured and changed when something does not fit.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may use video for face-to-face conversation, while others may allow audio-only check-ins; ask about format choices when scheduling so sessions match daily life needs.
