About John
John Llauget is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 39 years in practice. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and life transitions. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
John prefers to start by getting to know a person and talking clearly about the issues they bring. He uses that conversation to agree on next steps rather than offering immediate fixes.
How John works
He teaches practical coping tools for stress and strong emotions. He values patience, persistence, and compassion in the work. His training includes a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Stephen F.
Austin State University and an educational specialist degree from the University of South Florida. He holds the LMHC credential in Florida. Over his career he has worked in psychiatric hospitals and community health settings, and has experience in employee assistance, school counseling, and court evaluation.
For about 20 years he focused on cancer-related counseling, helping people cope with illness and caregiving strain. He has also supported people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability. Outside of talk therapy he has used body-mind practices such as Okinawan karate, qigong, and meditation to help build self-control and calm.
In sessions he often blends client-centered conversation with evidence-based strategies when appropriate. He checks messages twice daily and is not available on Sundays. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How John Uses Talk Therapy and Trauma Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. Sessions begin with open conversation so goals and next steps are chosen together. This approach helps with stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adapting to life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that reprocesses distressing memories to reduce their intensity. It is often used for trauma and abuse recovery and for symptoms that stem from difficult past events.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine gentle listening, coping skills, mindfulness practice, and targeted trauma work as appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work for quick notes, reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
