John Llauget, LMHC

John Llauget is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, depression, and other life challenges. He brings a practical, straightforward approach and focuses on understanding each person before suggesting ways forward. John draws on nearly four decades of clinical experience and a calm, patient manner.

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. John has worked in psychiatric hospitals, community health centers, employee assistance programs, and schools. He has also served as an associate professor and a court evaluator for guardianship matters.

For the last 20 years he concentrated on counseling people affected by cancer, helping them cope with illness, stress, and the emotional impact of medical treatment. He has also supported people dealing with chronic pain, disability, caregiver stress, and major life changes. Martial arts, qigong, and meditation have influenced his work with self-esteem and body-mind practices.

In sessions John takes time to learn a person’s story before offering techniques or tools. He favors simple coping skills for stress and emotional difficulties and uses trauma-focused methods when needed. He emphasizes compassion, persistence, and patience while working toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify goals and feel heard, which helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks big concerns into small steps, teaching practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories. In practice it involves structured processing of traumatic material and can be helpful for people who continue to feel overwhelmed by past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and clients are involved in deciding what feels most useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed on the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find that regular online sessions let them practice new skills between meetings and bring changes more quickly into daily life.
