About John
John Marino is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. He holds the LMHC credential and has a decade of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship challenges. He works with clients on family issues and LGBT concerns, and also addresses workplace stress and other life strains.
He aims for straightforward, respectful conversations that honor each person's background and needs. Sessions are shaped to match what feels useful for the client rather than following a single formula.
Background and approach
He emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping practical goals in view. In therapy he helps people identify patterns that contribute to distress and tries out concrete ways to change them. That can mean learning new coping skills, revising how partners communicate, or addressing behaviors tied to addiction and obsessive thoughts.
He often focuses on immediate, usable strategies a person can try between sessions. John also works with issues like commitment concerns, separation and divorce, infidelity, jealousy, and some sex and relationship concerns such as polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements. He brings experience with multicultural concerns and men’s midlife issues as part of his broader practice.
Beginning therapy here starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. The therapist uses a flexible session format that can fit into busy family schedules and varied routines.
Approaches and how online therapy can fit your life
John uses evidence-based approaches focused on practical change and symptom relief. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. This approach targets daily habits and reactions so clients can see changes in stress and mood.Another frequently used technique focuses on behaviors and routines. It breaks problems into manageable steps and builds skills for coping with cravings, obsessive urges, or relationship conflicts. This kind of work emphasizes specific actions to try between sessions so progress becomes measurable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, situation, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan when needed to make therapy relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls provide face-to-face time when that matters. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging let people stay connected when life gets hectic. These options make it easier to fit care into work, parenting, and everyday routines.
