About John
John Marino is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 10 years of professional experience. He focuses on workplace and wellbeing concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, and depression. He aims to make the first step easier by offering straightforward, respectful care.
John keeps sessions practical and focused on what matters day to day. He listens for what is driving stress and anxiety at work and at home, and then helps people develop clearer choices and coping steps. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
He works with a range of relationship challenges, including commitment concerns, divorce and separation, infidelity, jealousy, and non-monogamous arrangements. He also supports people facing men’s issues, midlife transition, and multicultural concerns. Issues like obsessive or compulsive behaviors, personality-related patterns, and sex or porn-related addictions are also within his stated focus.
John approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He says the dialog and treatment plan will be shaped around each client’s unique needs and goals. That means practical tools, small experiments between sessions, and regular check-ins to see what is working.

Practical approaches for work and relationship stress
John describes his approach as evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, usable strategies. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practice small changes. This can reduce everyday anxiety and make workplace stress easier to manage.Another approach centers on problem-solving for relationship and family issues. It breaks larger conflicts into specific behaviors and moments, then tests new ways of communicating and setting boundaries to improve interactions over time.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend approaches to try together. If an approach doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when travel or relocation occurs. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these benefits to help clients maintain steady progress without disrupting daily responsibilities.
