01About Gino
Gino Rubens is a licensed counselor who brings three years of clinical experience to his work in South Carolina. He holds LPC and LMHC credentials and focuses on helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, or the effects of past trauma. He prefers straightforward conversations and practical steps.
Sessions often include discussing what feels most urgent, learning small daily skills, and trying out new ways to handle strong emotions.
Background and approach
He uses tool-based methods so people can practice outside of sessions. Gino has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings earlier in his career. That background shaped how he approaches crisis moments and longer-term struggles.
He draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs rather than relying on a single method. In session he pays attention to how life events affect mood, self-worth, and connections with others. He helps people explore concerns like abandonment, body image, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and isolation.
He also supports people facing grief, end-of-life questions, and midlife transitions. Gino aims to collaborate on clear, realistic goals. He blends discussion, teaching, and skill practice from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness.
This helps people notice patterns, reduce distressing feelings, and try new behaviors between visits.

04Online support
Therapeutic tools for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when strong feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for mood and anxiety issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and helps people find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gino will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He combines elements from different approaches to create a plan that fits the person rather than forcing one method on everyone.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text sessions work well for quick check-ins, journaling between visits, or shorter coaching-style support. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
