About John
John Llauget is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, grief, addiction, and life changes. He brings a calm, steady manner to sessions and focuses on practical coping tools people can use right away. He has 39 years in mental health work, beginning in 1977 in a psychiatric hospital and later in community outpatient settings.
Over the past two decades he focused on cancer counseling, supporting people dealing with illness, chronic pain, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
John draws on Client-Centered work to listen closely and to understand each person's priorities before suggesting strategies. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and EMDR when trauma memories need processing. Sessions often include learning simple skills for emotion regulation, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and step-by-step plans for managing anger or stress.
He has used movement practices such as Okinawan karate and Qigong in past work to build self-control and self-esteem. John describes his approach as patient, compassionate, and practical. He talks things through with people, explains tools clearly, and checks progress over time.
He works with adults in Florida and with international clients online, offering a range of remote session options.

How John blends therapy approaches for online care
John often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, building trust, and letting the person's goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes which tools will be most useful for them.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is hands-on and fits well for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change reactions and habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. John will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that suit them. He checks progress and adjusts the plan as needed so work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and text messaging suits brief notes or ongoing support between visits. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical care, or caregiving responsibilities.
