John Marino

John Marino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 10 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He also addresses addictions and provides support around issues such as commitment, infidelity, and divorce and separation.

He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to meet each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. He emphasizes clear, practical conversation and collaboration on goals.

In sessions he listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people build small, manageable changes. He works through relationship and family concerns, and helps people facing midlife transitions, workplace strain, or struggles related to sexual behavior and non-monogamous relationships. He also addresses OCD-related worries and personality concerns.

John adapts his approach for multicultural contexts and for issues that affect men specifically. He supports people navigating LGBT concerns and the stresses that come with them. He focuses on realistic steps clients can try between meetings to test what helps.

People who prefer direct, practical counseling that still honors personal experience may find his style a good fit. He encourages a steady, collaborative pace and will adjust the plan as needs change.

How evidence-based techniques guide online therapy

Many modern therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus sessions on what helps most. One common approach involves structured problem-solving and skill-building to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this focuses on small, practical steps people can try between sessions. Another widely used method looks at relationship patterns and communication skills to help people address conflicts, infidelity, commitment concerns, and separation issues; it teaches ways to speak and listen more effectively to reduce repeated fights.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, history, and preferences. That process may include trying different strategies and adjusting them based on what proves useful in real life.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into busy days. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited, and can reduce travel so people can meet between errands or during a work break. Discuss practical needs and timing when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to fit your routine.
