About John
John Llauget is a licensed mental health counselor with a long history in clinical work. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and other life disruptions. He communicates plainly and seeks to understand each person's situation before suggesting next steps.
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.
Background and approach
John began his career in 1977 at a psychiatric hospital and later worked in community outpatient settings. Over time he has served as an employee assistance counselor, school counselor, court evaluator, and associate professor at an international university. For the past two decades he has focused on counseling people affected by cancer, helping them cope with illness, stress, and emotional concerns.
He also has experience with chronic pain, caregiver stress, and aging-related issues. His background includes work with children, adolescents, and adults earlier in his career, and he has led meditation and qigong classes for older clients. John blends client-centered conversations with practical tools for coping.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to address mood, sleep, and anxiety problems. He also incorporates trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life. He values compassion, patience, and persistence while working toward change.
John prefers to get to know a person and talk clearly about concerns before recommending specific strategies, and he emphasizes practical skills clients can use between sessions.

How his approaches work online
John uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and concerns. This approach means sessions start with listening and understanding before deciding what to try. It helps when someone needs a judgment-free place to sort feelings and priorities.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT includes practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs, and comfort. He explains options clearly and adjusts methods as progress or challenges arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation similar to in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief written updates when that fits their schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy lives or distance.
