About John

John Rubinov is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with nine years of experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and other difficult life changes. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and able to make practical changes.

In sessions he listens first, then helps clients set small, doable goals. He uses everyday tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to break down problems into clear steps. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when emotions are strong.

John often helps people sort through identity questions and intimacy-related concerns, and he supports those dealing with career shifts, compassion fatigue, or family-of-origin issues. He can talk with people about ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and complicated grief in straightforward terms. He also addresses less common challenges like dissociation or questions related to BDSM and kink when they come up.

Sessions are offered in English, Hebrew, and Russian, and he is able to work with international clients. His approach is collaborative: he helps people notice what’s working, introduces practical coping skills, and adjusts the plan as needed. The focus is on usable tools and clearer choices rather than long explanations.

To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the listed options and the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help when anger, avoidance, or worry get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to calm the body and make emotions easier to manage during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps identify which methods feel most useful for the person's situation and preferences.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to meet with a licensed professional in Florida even if the client is living in another state or country. The practical aim is to use therapy tools that fit into daily life rather than require big schedule changes.
