About John
John Rubinov is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, and life changes. He speaks English, Hebrew, and Russian and works with clients across state lines, including international clients.
In sessions he keeps things straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they set small, manageable steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at real-world change rather than abstract theory. John draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. He uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take action that matters to them. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and build calm in stressful moments. He has worked for nine years with people facing grief, career challenges, relationship strain, and the fallout of addiction.
He also addresses issues such as ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to family of origin. If anger is a concern, he helps people understand triggers and develop safer ways to respond. John’s style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
He helps people set clear goals and tracks progress along the way. Sessions are organized so clients leave with practical tools they can use between meetings.

How John’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
John uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which works well in conversation and in structured homework between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and encourage small actionable steps toward a meaningful life, useful when people feel stuck or overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to test methods and adjust as goals evolve. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies fit the person’s needs, pace, and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video lets people work face-to-face when that helps build connection. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or ongoing coaching between live sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in everyday settings.
