Gino Rubens, LPC, LMHC

Gino Rubens is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor who practices with a focus on helping people regain balance. He brings three years of clinical experience and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Gino aims to connect with each person and build treatment plans that respond to their situation.

He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, and trauma-informed care to offer practical tools. Sessions often include clear skills training, ways to manage difficult emotions, and conversations that address patterns causing distress. Gino talks through what’s getting in the way and helps people try different ways of coping.

His background includes work with people facing addiction-related challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood or personality concerns. That experience informs his focus on rebuilding pleasure, restoring routine, and strengthening supports. He also helps with issues like communication problems, chronic illness and pain, grief, and midlife crisis concerns.

Gino emphasizes empathetic, direct conversations and collaborative planning. He aims to offer concrete strategies alongside reflection about values and life purpose. People who want someone who will be candid, practical, and steady may find his approach helpful.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How specific approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It can help with life-purpose questions, midlife concerns, and persistent low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gino will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may combine ACT and CBT elements, along with mindfulness or dialectical behavior skills, so clients leave sessions with usable tools.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. It also supports steady work on skills between appointments and can help people keep continuity of care when schedules are tight.
