About John
John Rubinov is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life transitions. He speaks English, Hebrew, and Russian and has nine years of clinical experience.
John believes people carry the answers to their own lives and offers a calm, straightforward space to talk through problems. Sessions focus on clear steps and small changes that add up. He aims to help people build confidence and find more clarity in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
In therapy he blends conversational listening with practical tools. That can include looking at unhelpful thoughts, noticing what matters most, and tracing the stories people tell about themselves. He also helps clients who struggle with intimacy, grief, anger, or work stress to name patterns and try different ways of responding.
John draws on several approaches including Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques. He tailors methods to each person rather than following one fixed plan. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match a client’s goals and energy.
People come to him for a range of concerns tied to identity, family history, or coping with change. He also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and certain neurodiverse experiences. International clients may work with him in English, Hebrew, or Russian if that suits them.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
John uses Narrative therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and identify parts of those stories they want to change. That approach can be useful for issues around identity, family history, and patterns that keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will discuss these methods with each person and choose techniques together based on needs and goals. Sessions are collaborative - clients and therapist try strategies, see what fits, and adjust as they go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping the focus on meaningful steps forward.
