About John
John Marino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strains, family conflict, and depression. He works with clients who identify as LGBT and addresses related concerns alongside other personal issues.
Marino focuses on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. He listens for patterns that keep problems active and helps people try specific steps to change daily routines and reactions. Sessions emphasize straightforward discussion and problem-solving rather than long lectures.
He often addresses relationship topics such as commitment questions, divorce and separation, infidelity, jealousy, and non-monogamous arrangements. Work-related stress, midlife changes, men’s issues, and multicultural concerns are also part of his practice. He has experience with obsessive-compulsive behaviors, personality disorder concerns, and sex-related addictions.
Marino adapts the pace to each person. For some people that means short-term focused work on practical skills. For others it means a longer process of rethinking patterns and repairing relationships. He explains options plainly and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
To get started he asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote sessions
Two common evidence-based techniques used in work like this are problem-focused behavioral strategies and skills-based interventions. Problem-focused behavioral work identifies specific patterns that keep stress or addictive behaviors in place and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Skills-based approaches teach practical tools such as emotion regulation, communication techniques for relationship problems, and coping strategies for anxiety. Another useful approach is structured relationship work that breaks down conflict into observable interactions and then practices different responses. That helps with issues like infidelity, jealousy, commitment questions, and navigating non-monogamous arrangements by giving people concrete alternatives to reactive behaviors. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences, then propose methods to try. Progress is checked regularly and methods are adjusted if something isn’t helpful. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to continue work with a licensed professional when relocating or managing complex schedules.Sheet 3
