John Marino, LMHC

John Marino is a New York licensed mental health counselor with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. He also addresses issues such as jealousy, infidelity, commitment questions, and workplace strain.

John aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms and repair relationships when that is a goal.

He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. That means using approaches that are focused, goal-oriented, and grounded in research while staying flexible to what each person needs. Over time he helps people notice patterns, learn new coping skills, and make changes that matter in daily life.

John works with a range of concerns including multicultural issues, men's issues, midlife transitions, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, personality challenges, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. He also supports people facing divorce, separation, or sex-related difficulties.

For those new to therapy, John encourages taking small steps toward change and will work collaboratively to build a plan. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions from New York; prospective clients should confirm current session arrangements before booking.

Approaches that guide online work and finding the right fit

John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in his practice. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, depression, and recurring negative thoughts. Another approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce urges and manage addictive behaviors or compulsions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. John works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist review what is working and what can be changed together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during lunch breaks or between activities. It can also make it simpler to continue progress when schedules or locations change, while maintaining a regular rhythm of sessions with a licensed professional.
