About John
John Llauget is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who works with parents and families facing stress, parenting challenges, grief, mood concerns, and other life changes. He brings a calm, practical style and focuses on clear, usable tools that parents can try between sessions. He speaks English and has practiced in a range of settings since 1977.
John began his clinical work in a psychiatric hospital and later provided outpatient care at a community health center.
Background and approach
He has experience as an employee assistance counselor, school counselor, associate professor, and court evaluator. For about 20 years he worked specifically with people affected by cancer, helping them cope with illness, treatment stress, and emotional strain. 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 is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC - in Florida, with decades of clinical practice to draw on. In sessions he takes time to learn about a person’s situation before suggesting strategies.
He emphasizes teaching coping tools for stress, sleep, and emotional regulation. He also has formal training in trauma-focused methods and uses those skills when trauma is part of the story. Outside of traditional therapy techniques, John has integrated movement and mind-body practices from martial arts, qigong, and meditation into work with clients who find those approaches helpful.
He values patience, persistence, and straightforward communication while helping families manage challenges.
Online approaches that fit family life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to where a person or parent is coming from and responding with empathy. This approach helps people feel heard and can make it easier to discuss sensitive family or parenting struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and stress. It teaches concrete skills for sleep, anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes that parents can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person or family to choose methods that match goals and comfort level. He combines talking, practical exercises, and sometimes trauma-focused techniques if past events are contributing to current problems.
Online sessions using video calls, phone, chat, or text let families fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines. These formats make it easier to attend from home, follow up between meetings, and use short check-ins when a full session is not possible. Flexibility in format supports consistent progress while balancing family responsibilities.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
