About John

John Llauget is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 39 years of clinical experience who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, sleep problems, parenting and anger concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

He also focuses on issues related to cancer, caregiver stress, and chronic pain, illness, and disability. John combines a careful, person-centered stance with practical skill-building to help clients manage emotional difficulties and daily stressors.

He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and an Educational Specialist degree from the University of South Florida, and holds the FL LMHC credential (FL LMHC MH1494).

His career began in 1977 in psychiatric inpatient care and expanded into outpatient community mental health, employee assistance programs, school counseling, university teaching, court evaluations, and two decades of specialized work supporting oncology patients.

Drawing on varied settings and training in trauma treatment, John blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques and teaches concrete coping tools such as breathing, mindfulness, and movement-based practices to strengthen self-esteem and emotional regulation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



John integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their concerns and set goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is framed as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so they fit the person rather than forcing a single method. This shared decision-making helps guide which techniques are emphasized over time and allows adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These options make it possible to schedule around work, caregiving, or health limitations while maintaining continuity of care. Many clients use a mix of formats to practice skills between synchronous meetings and to stay connected in ways that fit their daily routines.
